Does anyone know the size and grade of the bolts to attach new upper spring seats and rear spring hangers?
Thanks

Not sure of the size, but definitely use grade 8. You want to splurge get stainless steel.

Thanks Sean, ford dealer where I got them didn't have a kit for the upper seats. He said 5 or 8 but didn't have the size, he thought they were 7/16 or 1/2 " but didn't know length. Said it was trial and error.

I think they are 7/16" on the u-bolts. I bought a set of longer u=bolts on ebay last year when I was looking to install an add-a-leaf kit to my 96 F150 and if my memory is correct, they were 7/16".
