I wanna know too....
I searched... and even checked their site, but nothing definite, I saw 1.5" for the stock bolts which might be right, but still wondering about the brace bolts.

Yep, with time and/or larger tires, the bolts for the steering box will rip through the frame. If you haven't ripped yours yet, there is a brace that triangulates the area to teh crossmember. Totally worth adding. If yours has ripped, there is a weld -in patch to repair it before you add the brace.

No help on the bolts. But the bolt in brace was one of the first mods I ever did to my truck, cheap insurance IMO.
Yeah that'll work thanks Frank! I wanted to get some a little longer so I could fit a nut on the back of them, I think one of the holes on the steering box might be a little stripped.
