best to take it to a mechanic with a got set of bolt draws and let him get em. Wrong bolts, even at the right size can shear off, and probably right in front of a state trooper, if Murphey has anything to say about it.

Thanks for the advice! However I have access to over $5000.00 in manual/air tools. I really don't have the money to take my 22 y/o truck to a mechanic. I just need the correct size bolts. Thank you very much for your help!
Shackle mounts are usually riveted not bolted to the frame so you would have to measure the bolt holes. Take the shackle with you to the hardware store and get the proper diameter bolts and crush nuts so they will not work loose. I would say one and a half inch length and grade 8 bolts and nuts will hold it. I would use half inch bolts minimum even if I had to drill the frame and mounts unless your holes are larger.
