Size of cradle bolts and t-case bolts

[TexasRock]

Looking for the size of these bolts... thank you!

I know tjkj2002 knows this...

By "what size" do you mean? The socket size to remove them or there actual dimensions?

The front cradle mount bolts are M14's,anything more exact can be given tomorrow since they are at work,the rears are M12's.

The t-case mounting studs/nuts(there is 6 of each) I have no idea,didn't care since I pulled it anyways,they take a 15mm socket to remove and the bottom 2 are covered by the t-case/trans mount which are M10x1.50 bolts(4 of them).

Troy...

Yeah, the exact measurements... reason being is a buddy of mine is dropping the cradle on his and I need to know what size bolts to replace the stock ones with... he is dropping it an inch.

I appreciate your time and help.

If he or you could take pics and maybe make a how too, when you get a chance, I'm sure that would be much appreciated on here. At least I know I will!

Okay if I'm not entirely swamped tomorrow I'll get those bolt measurements.Just be aware that dropping the cradle 1" you must drop the t-case mount 1" also. or kiss your driveshafts goodbye fast from the odd angles they will be at.

 

[TexasRock]

Yes, I will post a how-to with pics..

I already measured the steel for the cradle and t-case...

The cradle bolts are...............

Front bolts - M14x2.0x135mm - 2 each
Rear bolts - M12x1.75x135mm - 2 each

1" = 25.4mm

Troy,

I appreciate it!

What is the best service manual to get so I don't have to ask such simple questions?
