The upper bolts are 7/16-14 x 1". Grade 5 or better. Bolt will be 1/2" hex.

The bottoms are usually some type of stud Johanthan, with the bolt through portion usually being 1/2-20.

I suppose bolts with spacers could be used, in that you'll need 1/2-20 x 2 1/2". Grade 5 or better. Bolt will be 3/4" hex. Bolt with washer through the shock bushing, another washer with a nut (just lightly tight), then through the axle flange with a washer and a Nylock nut. Keep the bolt from turning when tightning the nut.
