1993 f150 shocks

I have a 93 f150 and it needs shocks real bad. I had two impact wenches on the bolts and i could not budge the bolts. I think i will have to cut the bolts off but im not sure what bolts i should buy to replace the ones i cut off. Anyone got any ideas?

If new shocks don't come with hardware a local parts store should be able to supply the hardware.

I just replaced my shocks on my 88 F350 and ended up replacing the lower bolts in the rear, and both upper and lower bolts at the front (dual eyelet style shocks).
Mine are metric grade 8.8 and 10.9, i.e. hardened.
The front bolts were severely worn which allowed the shocks to rattle around too much.
At the back, someone had replaced one lower bolt with a standard non-hardened bolt that was too small in diameter. This allowed the shock to move up and down on the bolt, which in turn, caused the bolt to move up and down and ultimately elongated the holes on the shock mount.

What ever you do, make sure you get the correct replacement sized bolts.
