You really should start looking at your suspension after every two after you’ve set up and when you return home.

You need a 9/16 bolt with 7/16 threads that’s 3 3/8 to 3 1/2 inch in length to accommodate the two yellow octagon plates on either side of the spring hangers

Same bolt will work on the shackles unless you have the cheap thin link bars

I do not like the correct tract system at all.. but it’s just my personal preference

See images of why I don’t like the octagon plates..you can’t see the bolt hole that’s behind the plates on the spring hanger unless you remove the bolt and plates


Last image is the bolt,that should server your needs..

Personally if you don’t have wet bolts and bronze bushings I would yank all of them and install wet bolts and bronze bushings

I am also not fond of the “Never Fail” bushings

My Dexter OEM wet bolts and bronze bushings are now 9 years old.. the bushings and bolts are in excellent shape because I grease before every tow

YMMV
