Anyone know the size of the center pins?

JM · 06-05-2007, 07:49 PM

I Have a couple of aal that I got free but did not get the center pins with them. I thought I could got to Home Depot and get some allen head bolts but I do not know the correct size. Can anyone help?

Thanks

It depends upon the spring.

Thanks for the link but that does not tell me the Toyota Tacoma factory center pin bolt size.

WATRD · 06-05-2007, 08:08 PM

Again, it depends upon the springs. Toyota uses at least two different sizes.

Thanks Rob. I did not know they use two different sizes. I guess I will have to remove one and match it up.

That would be your best bet... or... post up the model and year and I bet someone can narrow it down for you

Well the model is a T-100 1996. Now I know what you are saying " Why did you post it in the Tacoma section". The reason is there is not to much on the T-100 section and I think the Tacoma and the Tundra/T-100 share some of the same rear lift parts.

I like my T-100 but there is very little on tech support and modifications.

Found out it is a 3/8 bolt. I used the 2 1/2 " x3/8 worked great.

Likely the Toyota bolt is actually 10mm, but 3/8" works fine. Also the AAL is probably drilled for the slightly smaller 3/8" bolt:
