What size bolts do I replace the axle drop bracket rivots with. Installing James Duff front soon instead of spacers. Yippee.

The ones in my Rancho lift kit were 1/2" Grade 10.
 






Grade 10, where do I get those?? Can anyone confirm this?
 






I used Grade 8 on mine. They have lasted the last few years I have had them on. I have even gone through a few drop brackets. I used 1/2 bolts also Big suckers but they get the job done!
 






skyjacker sends 1/2" bolts by 1 1/2" long I think. I know they are 1/2" in diameter though. You will have to drill out your holes a little. They are either grade 8 or 10. Either will work. Can get em at an automotive store, or hardware store.
