Not without crawling under the truck and getting dirty. Why are you asking?

I installed a 1 inch Toddco lift on my Rover and it included new bolts. Email Toddco and ask them what size bolts they include in the kit.

Just thought that I should replace the rusty bolts that are on it now...pitting etc. Figured if someone knew the size then I could skip paying the dealership a couple bucks per bolt for the same bolt I could pick up at the hardware store for a few cents...just a thought.

Even if the thread is from 2008, it's better to bump than start a new one
Duo taptite M10 x 25mm
Probably won't find those at any hardware store. They have special threads for higher strip-to-drive ratio and higher prevailing torque

50 cents here.

Cheers! Mid lift install and figured I'd replace the hardware.

Wait until you pop one of the tack welded nuts off the underside of the lower shock mount, and have to replace with a new loose nut that you can barely get a wrench on...
