Put the new coil in for a 3" RC lift and when I was bolting the little metal strap on that hold the last coil of the coil in I stripped the threads on the frame. I guess I don;t know how to use an impact wrench. The threads on the bolt are fine.. Now what??? Buy a bigger self tapping bolt? Rethread the frame and use a bigger bolt? Please help. Thanks in advance.

 

Bigger self taping bolt and use a ratchet not an impact gun!!!

 

Impact guns are for disassembly... ratchets are for assembly. If you use an impact for install you are gonna end up breaking a lot of things.

 

I agree with this statement...

and you can try rethreading the hole if you want...

 

Retread and go bigger.

I agree with what everyone has said. Impact wrench only for disassembly and ratchet for reassembly. Impact wrench will go beyond torque requirements and will strip threads.

 

Never did anything like this before and never used an impact wrench. did not know this. Thanks much all.

 

that was how we learn. when i was a kid i used an impact wrench to tighten down head bolts...just say i learned my lesson pretty quickly
