I think the stock ones are 14mm (and should work with the AutoZone shackles) but if that's not available, I think 9/16"s will work. Grade 8 of course - or whatever the equivalent is for metric if you're sticking to metric.
 


















I have the auto zone shackles. If you only plan on doing some light trails and going through mud, they'll be fine. The bolt on the stock shackles is to big for the hole in the new ones. just drill the hole big enough or use the bolts that came with the new one. I've had mine on for a little over a year now, no problems.
