Rear bottom is M12 something...I think 1.25 (but don't quote me). The front ones are nuts & bolts I believe, so you should be able to swap out to standard hardware there (5/16 or something). I'm not sure what the rears are (they thread into the body, so they don't have any nuts with 'em), mine all snapped and we just drilled/tapped to 5/16 coarse thread.

For the rear upper shock bolts I bought grade 8 zinc plated 5/16" 20 pitch 1 inch long bolts with a washer on top and bottom and nut.

Thanks for the responses, XJPRO and I ended up using the drill and tap method. We got a bigger bolt and used a washer..got to get back underneath and make sure everything is still tight but I'm sure it will be fine.
