Default Leaf bolts question

So I am putting my lift on today. It's a 2" BB shackle and spacer kit. The lead bolts were a pain but finally got them out. My question is, are these still ok to use, none of them broke and the threads on the body look good and clean (mostly)

You got lucky, most are a pain. No reason to change them if they look good.

Thanks. One had some goofed up threading at the very start so I just put it to the grinder and make it flat with the initial post. Plenty of thread left. Thanks!

Wouldn't hurt to slap some antizeize on them where they go through the sleeve.
