Rear Shock Bolt Thread Pitch?
Does anyone know what the lower bolt that attaches the rear shocks of a 1997 4runner thread pitch is? I need to get 12mmx30mm bolts, but I need to know if it's a 1.75, 1.5, or 1.25 thread pitch, whatever that means. Does anyone know? I'm needing this, because the rear limiting straps require a longer bolt to clear the lower edge of the shock.

OEM Bolt...
Take the bolt that you took out to a bolt supply place in your town, look it up in the yellow pages, and tell them that you need a longer one with the same pitch. They should be able to match it up and get you the one you need.
Hope this helps.

Maybe you could find a detail of the shock assembly online somewhere by doing a search?
Hope you get it figured out!

Chris, I think it is a 1.25 but don't quote me on that.
You could get a metric thead gage at the store and match it up.
On most foreign cars the 1.25 is a coarse and 1.5 is a fine.
Maybe someone else can verify this.
