Default 2008 F150 Front Leaf Spring Bolt Size

I'm in the process of replacing the rear springs on my 2008. Passenger side is done. I understand the fuel tank will keep me from getting the front bolt out on the drivers side and I will more than likely have to cut it off. Does anybody have the specs on the front bolt? Trying to find it locally. Will go to the dealer if I have to. Any help is appreciated.

If you get no reply by tomorrow, I'll try to remember to take a picture of the packaging on mine. Even going to the dealer, it took a few tries to get the right size.

I only suggest this place because of your location. I know you're a good bit north of here but if you haven't gotten your answer yet give Acme Spring in Dayton a call. they were able to help me with a bolt size for a leaf spring on a Colorado that I use to have.

I'm pretty sure if you jack the springs up just the right height it will clear and you can remove the bolt.

I just replaced my springs and as I recall we couldn't put the new bolt in either way until we moved the gas tank a bit. Which was a pain because it was full.
