Small Part, Essential Job for Classic Ford Leaf Packs
The Skyjacker 7164 leaf spring tie bolt is a simple but essential hardware component that holds the leaves of a multi-leaf spring pack together on 1980 to 1983 Ford F-100 trucks. Without a properly torqued tie bolt, individual leaves can shift, squeak, or wear prematurely, leading to a sloppy or noisy ride.
Made from durable steel, the 7164 tie bolt is sized to match the factory leaf pack dimensions on covered F-100 applications, keeping each leaf aligned and clamped under load. It is a low cost way to restore proper leaf spring function during a suspension refresh or when replacing worn or rusted original hardware.
Because leaf spring hardware sees constant flex and road exposure, the 7164 tie bolt is a smart addition to any suspension service on an aging F-100, helping the leaf pack perform the way it did when the truck was new.
