Default Stock front lower shock bolt and nut size?

When putting my lift on I cross threaded my front passenger lower shock nut/bolt. I'm wondering if anybody knows what size/type of bolts/nuts these are so I can get replacements. It's fine now but at some point I will have to take them back off to tinker with my springs, so I'd like to have a replacement for when that day comes.

I did this on the rear. The only place I could find the grade 8+, thread and size of bolt was fastenal. The big box stores and the local auto parts stores had limited options.

Maybe I'm better off going to the Jeep dealership.

Might not be a bad idea. I would give them a call first. Maybe your area is different but I spent hours running around looking for the bolt. I was surprised at how hard it was to find. Looks like fastenal is in your area too.

I replaced mine to include rear sway bar link bolt (same size) and found them at lowes...
