Sorry about that. The guy at my local alignement shop told me that he is been doing this for ever. i dont find the exact same bolt the guy is actually using but gives you an idea using 3 bolt per side remplacing leveling kit the one he show me is 1 inches to 1 half inches long and a dimeter of around 3 quarter inches and both threaded on each ends.

and sames issues for sure just alot cheeper

but our 4.7L is alot heavy compare to suzuki weed eater engine... dosn't seem strong enough to me.

I'm not the G&P police, but trying to read your posts gives me a headache. Can you try and use proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar, so I can try and understand what you are trying to tell us?

I am assuming that these spring bolts are located between the spring hat and strut perch?
