You will need two grade eight, 1/2''-13, 7 or 8 inch long bolts. I doubt you will find grade eights at a local hardware store. I bought mine for about 10 bucks from a special supplier. It may be easier to spend 30 bucks and buy them from a vendor.

go to www.mcmaster.com and type in "grade 8 cap screw" on the search on the left hand side. This site is AWESOME and they have EVERY type of hardware you'll need. Shipping is CHEAP and FAST. I order stuff and its usually there the next day.
1/2"-13 8" bolts with "ultra corrosion resistant" coating are $13.55 for 5 of them. Buy the pack of 5 and sell two to a member

Vegas should have a nut and bolt supply house.
There are several in my area. Never had a problem getting bolts.
The stock bolts are 6" long but only have 5 1/2" threaded. Just keep that in mind. 8" bolts in most cases are not necessary because you can't get the front low enough to keep the proper rake.
