suspension guru/fab. guru..

wondering if a 1/2" grade 8 bolt, in double shear, would suffice for a shock mount?

purely street use nothing that abusive.. and no air shocks at that.

Re: suspension guru/fab. guru..

As long as your shock never completely collapses or extends then yes it should be perfectly fine.

Absolutely.

The factory lower front shock bolt on your square bodies is a 1/2 inch bolt in double sheer.
