16mm bolt (says Toyota) my measurement 5/8" =0.625". Needs about a 1" long sleeve.
McMaster Carr p.101 Type 316L stainless steel seamless tubing. 3/4" O.D., 0.63" I.D. $16.90/ft.
What page did you see metric on?

What are you going to do with the Downey Coils - I have a friend who needs them. Give me a price.

No, its not a new set of custom CNC machined aluminum rims, but after lunch I should have in my possession 6" of 3/4" O.D, .049 wall stainless steel tubing
Hopefully, it will make the perfect replacement sleeve for the LCR bushing.

OK, the new 3/4" O.D. sleeve fits PERFECTLY!!! 
So, barring some other unforseen problem, I should be able to get the panhard drop bracket on this weekend and also install the Cruiser coils.
The panhard drop bracket comes with a new 5/8" bolt. I am planning on using this bolt in the upper hole to connect the drop bracket to the factory bracket and a new factory bolt in the lower hole to connect the lateral control rod (I had to buy a new bolt b/c I'm cutting the old one out with a grinder). The Toyota bolt has a tab on it that keeps it from spinning around when you torque it to 110 ft lbs.
Is there any reason to swap the bolts and put them in the opposite locations that I have just mentioned
??

The wife was 
every two hours last night and doesn't feel much better today. I have to keep the boys from bothering her and that doesn't work very well when I'm working under the truck in the garage!

Where's that Nanny when you need her?

Man....sorry I didn't see this earlier. I did the cruiser coils and a procomp drop bracket on my runner. I didn't have any rust issues, but could've let you in on the bolt size. Could you not put your coils on without taking the lateral bar off?

So you can imagine how tight it would have been trying to get cruiser coils IN.
Anyway, I don't want to get the Cruiser coils in and then not be able to install the panhard drop bracket and I think disconnecting the l.c.r. is the key factor in both of these objectives.
(read my post two before this one). I'm trying to get it done ASAP

Sorry that you're having such a hard time with this. Living in the rust free belt does have it's benifits....I guess.
anyway, if you loosen the upper links, the coils will drop out easily...but you might have the same problem with rust though.....
It helps to have two jacks one for under the diff of the axle, one on the sides to lift the opposite side when you put things back together.
