4wd front spring eye bolt size? front axle

[Swims350]

Anyone know right off what size they are? 1/2 9/16 7/16? Both my fronts are completely seized in the eyelet sleeves so I'm gonna have to cut em off and buy new. I'll be heading out in the morning to get some no time to really dig around the garage and find some that fit.

This is for the front axle front eyelets, may need one for the rear shackle it's about half stuck.

I also need to know length, my guess is 4 to 4-1/2?

Dwg shows it (item 42) as 9/16" - 18 X 5".

The rear (shackle) bolts (item 1) are listed as 7/16" - 20 X 5"

you guys think it matters that I bought course thread bolts for the front ones instead of fine? I bought new nuts for the course thread ones. They didn't have 7/16 ones for the back in the right length, they were too short or too long fine or course.

I think mine are coarse, like 13 pitch or so.

yea what I bought was 9/16x12 5 inch long the link above says 9/16x20 and they indeed are fine threads, but since mine are seized I got nuts and bolts. I did manage to get one out, and then I got the DS shackle loose but the bolt is still stuck in the sleeve thus it's stuck that way, maybe cut it and then put on new bolts, sadly though they didn't have any 7/16 bolts so I may have to come up with something else.

If I had the cash I'd just order the ORD greaseable setup shackle, bushings and bolts all together and change it out,

Can also order them from DIY4x, but pretty pricey at ~$7/bolt. Also only have 9/16", 1/2", and 5/8".
