    Anyone know the bolt size used originally to mount the differential (or after a diff drop)

    I installed a diff drop and want to convert back to stock. I pulled a bolt and tried to match it up but couldn’t ‘match exact size/thread. it seems like it is between 1/2” and 5/8” (maybe 9/16) but Would think it would be metric sizing. I tried the metric sizing at Home Depot but nothing matched

    It looks like I need a 5” long bolt

    anyone have their original bolts they want to part with. I thought I saved mine but can’t find them anywhere

    Just found these in my storage. They are 5” and look very close to correct diameter. Anyone know if these look like originals?

    Lol looks correct, the thread should fit your tundra lug nuts. But as long as it fits thru the hole and long enough any should work.
