94 pick up suspension hardware info needed
Does anybody know what size hardware I will need for replacing front and rear shocks on a 94 Pickup, 4 cyl, 5 speed, 4X4 extended cab?
The front shocks came with half the hardware (for the stud end of the shock) but neither front nor back had the thru bolt. They cam with the bushings, but not the bolts/nuts.
I tried searching, but I think it was too narrow of a field to search for.

I have a 94. There are no bolts. The only things you should have are 4- I think 9/16 fine thred for the front. You need 4 of them so you can double nut them so they do not vibrate off. On the bottom just use the bolts that are on there. Make sure the washers go on before the bolt. This way you don't over tighten the nuts and strip the bolt. This is not good if you strip it.
For the back just take off the 5/8 nuts and slip off the shox. Installation is reverse. All sockets should be deep wall. If you have any more questions just pm me amd ill do the best I can.

All went well. Got the old stuff off with a lot of effort.
The bushings were basically fused to the stubs. The front right shock, the nut at the top of the shock stripped on the threaded stud end and would not come off. Took a bolt cutter to get it off.
While I was under there, I replaced the sway arm links as well.
Now it has that "new truck" feel to it while driving. I feel every bump in the road...not that my kidneys appreciate it.
