Hope I'm not hijacking this... Different bolt, need to know the size...

Rear shock to axle bolts? Oh, and grade (I'm assuming M10.9 but need to know for sure).

Problem is its not a bolt, its a stud. Usually come with good shocks. Not sure where to buy one seperatly

Pretty sure they weren't studs on what I'm pretty sure were the factory installed shocks, and I've never seen a pic of any replacement shocks that have that end with a stud in the bushing...

:edit: Looked up some shocks on eBay, and I think I need to dig out my new shocks to see if the bolts are in there... I think the only hardware in the box was the bushing and nut for the top, though.
