Title: Body to frame mount bolts

Hey guys...new here. I just got myself a 1986 K10 305,700r4....6"suspension lift 3"body lift. I want to take out the body lift but im unsure of the correct bolt size and length to replace the longer ones that are in there right now.....any help or tricks y'all might have would be great

i had to get some for a truck a while back. i THINK they were 1/2" bolts coarse thread of course(not sure of thread pitch) i accually have a 3" body lift under my tool box at work. if you would like i can measure the bolt lengths tomorrow, i could compare them to some stock cab bolts i have and it should give you an idea i would think, I.E. stock cab bolt is 3 1/4" shorter than the 3" body lift bolt. subtract 3 1/4" from the bolt lengths i have in my kit. Unless of course someone comes along and can tel you the correct size for sure :)
