I was taking apart the whole rear end today surprisingly everything went good even the bolts weren't too bad (have been soaking them for a week with PB). When I was getting the bolts out, all of them have crappy thread left and even the thread on my frame is shot. I was wondering if anyone knew the bolt size and thread pattern? Quick posts would be greatly appreciated I would like to make it to either advance or home depot tonight to get the leafs back in. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, don't know the answer, but if you take the bolts with you, you should be able to match them up. Make sure to get a good grade of bolt. Probably a grade 5 or 8, not just annealed.

bookmark the following link. its 5-90's site and it has been a wealth of information for me. for about 99% of all my reference is done via WIP, and jo-jeeps site.

Stock bolts are 10.9, which equals grade 8.....so I wouldn't run grade 5.....

M14x2.0 thread is correct.
Length from new bolts purchased at Chrysler dealer: 120 mm (not including head) and diameter is 14mm.
Why are you guys trying to stuff SAE (inch) bolts into metric fittings? I live in a smallish city (40,000) in north-central BC, Canada- if I can find metric bolts, most of you can too!
