Ok i'm gonna do a 2" body lift to my ute on Sunday, and i was hoping someone out there knows the bolt lengths i will need? I know someone will say pull them out and measure them, but
A) there will be nowhere open in my area to get bolts from on a Sunday, and
B) I don't want to pay for them so i'll just get my brother to get them from his work.
I searched but could only find threads for Hilux and 60 series.

Pull one out now...measure it and add 50mm to the length and you got youre answer.
Take one from the rear of cab and one from front of cab and one from the front grill assy.Measure these.
Thats what I did to mine and presto!!!!!!

well you're probably gonna have to do it the long way then. As i recall there's differing length of body bolts throughout the job any ways. Go to a wreckers and ask to remove the bolts on a wreck so you can measure them.

Well that is a pain in the ass.
Dont quote me on this, but I think the front ones under grill assy are 250mm long. body ones were 200mm.
I suggest you buy 300mm ones and cut off the excess after or before fitting them. They will be super expensive, but at least they will all be long enough.

Don't do that unless the thread is long enough. You will likely find that you need to get two different types of bolt lengths as the longer ones will have too much unthreaded shank to be used where the shorter ones are required.
