Default new bolts for suspension

Just bought a RC lift. I don't particularly want to reuse my old bolts, I'd rather upgrade to grade 5 or 8 bolts. Anyone have the sizes for the lower control arms, shocks, and leaves?

Not sure of the sizes but bring the old ones with you to the hardware store and match them and get GRADE 8 only NO grade 5 or stainless steel GRADE 8 only

Why not just take all the bolts you want to replace down to a hardware store and have them find grade 8 matches for all of them?

Because if I get them before I start the lift I don't have to interrupt my man time.
:P

I might just do that though if no one knows the sizes. lol

Grade 5 Is more then sufficient for light duty automotive suspensions especially with them being in a sheer loading.
