I need 12mm x 1.25 @ 10" long and 7 1/2 ", also 10mm x 1.25 @ 7 1/2" long

For me, it would be AIH (Alaska Industrial Hardware). I haven't checked out Lowes or Home Depot, but I would want to get hardened bolts.

Might shoot Archemitis a PM and ask. He had a tough time finding a few of the really long bolts for his 4" lift kit. Eventually found everything he needed.

For the really really long 12mm bolts (transmission crossmember?) I had to re-tap the hole for a coarse thread 1/2", since that was all I could find at the local farm store. A 1/2" tap is just a little too big for the existing hole, but if you are careful not to break the tap you can do it without drilling.

this is for a 6" lift , the metric size is 250 x 12 x 1.25 , 190 x 12 1.25, 190 x 10 x 1.25 SJR

look up a company named empire bolt.i think there is one in seattle.if not ,call these guys and they will know who to go to on your side of the state.......509-534-0636.this is the number to empire bolt in spokane.

oh , and i am pretty sure you want grade "8"

funny stuff about the subaru hardware. they always use the very fine pitch thread. and they only used heat treaded bolts on our cars! thats grade 5 in sae jargon.

i used grade 8 standard 3/8 coarse for my front xmember bolts. the stock ones were 10mm grade 5.

 

for the tranny xmember bolts, i found them at a place called

 

Fastenall

Eagan MN

 

also, surprisingly napa had them in stock, not enough tho.

very helpfull. im sure fastenall would ship to you, but... you have to be able to find them localy. hardware specialists can order you anything you want, but standard is the easiest to find.

 

the rear diff hanger bolts, now thats a different story all together...

Tacoma Screw is a good local place to check. I bought some a few times from them, they'll have grade 10 even.

Might want to have a look around here too......http://www.boltdepot.com/DefaultB.aspx. Tim

Having no luck on all the fastener places, did pick up a second wagon for the engine got it running and took it out in the woods had a blast in stock form it goes better them my Bronco. got it stuck and unstuck even modified the fender on a tree SJR

well... i always figured thats why the 4 inch lifts stopped at 4 inch, and not 5, because you cant find bolts, strong enough, that long.

 

all of the 6inch+lifts i have seen use open stock, with the same short stock bolt stuck in one side, and nuts on the other. you just have to use stronger steel, and not rely on the long bolt to keep is strong.

 

that or buiild small subframes.

Metric to SAE equivalents

 

Grade 8 = Grade 5

Grade 10 = Grade 8

 

The longer bolts will be almost impossible to find in a fine thread. When I built the lift for my maroon hatch I ended up using a course thread bolt. The course threaded bolt uses a slightly larger hole then the fine threaded one. Just have to rethread the hole. I will hold fine.
