Anyone know off hand the size of the nut for my leaf springs? I have a 2019 32 RLI TT and while crawling underneath it I found a leaf spring bolt missing it’s nut. Don’t know when or where it fell off, could have come that way. Yikes!

If I was in that position, I would put a wench on another leaf spring bolt/nut. Remove it and take it to a parts shop. If they are not a nut with nylon locking bushing inside. I would buy those type. Might be a good time to check other suspension parts.

A bit cool to look at it right now. I believe the bolts are 9/16" shouldered to 3/8". This would take a 3/8"NF nut. Buy either nylock or upset nuts.
Reason it didn't come out is because they are force splined into the shackles.

Yup! Since you have to go to the store anyway, you might as well take one from another shackle bolt.

Yeah, I thought of that. Just thought I’d ask while I was out.
