You CANNOT buy the front lowering bolts from GM by themselves. They only come with the front spring. 
BUT.............
You can buy aftermarket front lowering bolts right here and they will work perfect

Took a look at this replacement kit and i just cant believe the price!!!!
2 Stainless bolts with 2 caps for $65?????? They've got to be kidding!!!
Thats just robbery. Theres got to be a better alternative. I'm going to Home Depot to see if i can find something similar for a buck seventy five. Any one with a similar idea that works please chime in.
But let me say thank you for the help. If i cant find an alternative i guess i'll have to pay the piper.

UPDATE:
Did a little looking around and found Delrin rods on ebay.
Bought a 12 inch piece. I plan to cut a couple of pieces off,
round the bottoms and find a couple of stainless bolts to screw into them. I know it will work just fine. I'm not against anyone making a fair profit but geez! For $8 i should have enough to make 6 sets. If i was in business i'd be making a $382.00 profit on my $8 investment. Thats plumbers money!
I'll post whether i succeed or fail.
