What size are the bolts that hold the rear sway bar up against the frame? I'm talking about the ones that go through those C-shaped brackets with a rubber "cushion" for the bar and screw into a nut welded inside the frame rail. Nothing i have tried will fit. The nut appears to be fine thread, but i'm not sure. If someone with a rear sway bar would be kind enough to pull out one of the bolts and tell me what size i need, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks.

You'll want to know too then, so you dont spend 3 hrs looking for a bolt to install a sway bar that should take 10 minutes, LOL.

Well, I found the correct bolt size. Turns out it was a 10mm. 10mmX1.50X50.00 The problem was the threads were caked with 9 years worth of dust and dirt thrown up by the tires. I had to have the holes tapped, but after that it all went in smooth as butter. HUGE HANDLING IMPROVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm posting a separate thread on the topic.
