body mount bolts

I searched and haven't found what I am looking for. I am replacing my body bushings and couldn't afford the kit that came with the bolts. I need to know how long of bolts to get. Thanks!

I didn't get bolts with mine either. I haven't installed mine yet and it never
crossed my mind they'd need different length bolts, so wondering why the
original length bolts won't work? I was planning on using the original bolts.

What brand bushings did you buy?
Mine are black Energy Suspension.

I was told you shouldn't use the factory bolts for the simple fact they are 30+yrs old. Just cheap insurance I guess, plus you never know if one will get stripped during removal. I was just gonna go get some grade 8 bolts from home depot. I bought the red bushings from JBG, I forget what brand they are. I might just pull some bolts out and go up there and compare them.
