I received my brace, now just need to buy hardware.

It reads this: "Customers have used on 4x4's as well as W350 by using longer bolts. One customer sent the following information: "I bought your steering box brace for my daughters 93 w350, not knowing it was for 2wd applications....I had it, so I figured I'd try modifying it... I got longer bolts obviously, bolting through the factory box plate, the rail, and your bracket... amazing difference in bumpsteer"!

Anyone know how much longer I need the bolts to be? Want to have the right hardware on hand. Truck is at mechanics shop and I can't take measurements. Instructions for 2wd state I need this:

4 - 7/16"- 14 x 1 3/4" Grade "8" bolts
6 - 7/16" Grade "8" Lock Washers
6 - 7/16" Grade "8" Flat Washers
2 - 7/16" Grade "8" Nuts,

Thanks. Larry

I installed my brace yesterday. Mine is a 2WD diesel. I had to grind a little half moon on the top of the plate just behind the forward most bolt hole for frame clearance. Not a big deal and it's only about the radius of a quarter.

I did not have to drill the front cross support though as it was already slotted there. I couldn't find 1.75" long bolts so I used 2" bolts and they fit just fine.

Thanks for getting these made again!

4wd requires different length and I don't know if 2" long enough. I guess I'm going to wait and hope when mechanic is ready I'm not at work and available to run to hardware store and get what he needs. I just don't want to buy ones that are too long, if that's possible.

Just wanted to let people know I can confirm fits well on 4WD too. Now installed on my 1979 Power Wagon 150 up . Just a couple of extra high grade bolts from the hardware store. Love it!
