I need to confirm the diameter of the rear shock bolt at the shank.
I think it is 14 mm.
Can anyone confirm?
I am installing Calvert Racing shocks,it is looking like I may have to drill out the metal bushings out a bit.
Thanks

Drilling the Calvert bushings to 14mm did the trick.

Did this actually work?

My measurements are that the threaded portion is 14mm-2.0 pitch. The shank is actually 1/2"

Having a devil of a time finding a sleeve that's correct. I'm trying to replace the bolts with true 14mm bolts, but I can't find the correct size sleeve. (14mm ID x 19mm OD)

-----------------

I guess if I drilled out my 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD sleeves, that would work, but I'm trying to find an off-the-shelf solution for everyone encountering this issue. (That would be anyone installing Calvert Racing, Viking, QA1, AFCO, etc shocks with factory mounts)

You're a great conversationalist. Has anyone told you that?



So you don't hear any bumping/banging going over speed bumps?

LOL,face to face you can't shut me up!
I hate typing...
I have only driven the truck a bit,it is an on-going project and not plated yet.
No issues that i can see or feel

One more question if you could answer...where did you get the drill bit?

I actually did them on the lathe at a friends machine shop,he had the bit.
