Body lift bolt length

I'm going to make my own 1" body lift for my '90 ext. cab truck. Does anyone have the specs on the bolt lengths for a 1" BL, or the specs on the stock bolts?

Thanks,
David

Yeah, I know I could take my stock stuff out and get the appropriate longer bolts. I figured with all the people on this board that have installed BL's someone might have the lengths handy. I'm hoping to avoid having to stop and run to the hardware store halfway through the BL install or having to take things apart twice.

Thanks! I really hate having to leave stuff halfway through and I REALLY hate having to take things apart knowing I'll have to do it again later. If it was just removing the bolts it wouldn't be a big deal but getting to them is not that direct.

k the bed bolts are 1.5" then theres 2 other sizes but sorry i dont remember which is cab and which is radiator support...but they are 3.5" and 3.25". press the big washers of your factory bolts and use those with ur new ones cause they have litlle tabs on them to prevent them from turnin...get grade 8 fine thread bolts, washers and the crown type locknuts (not nylocks)

Thanks a lot man! Those sound like lengths for the stock bolts?

By the way, your truck looks great.
