Bolt size...

Here is an interesting question...does anybody happen to know the size of the 4 large K-member bolts?  I'm suffering from the ol' K-member shuffle and I'm pretty certain those bolts will break when I try pullin' them out...I'd like to be able to get some extra bolts just in case.

Thanks in advance,
Don

K member shuffle? What's that? Any ways I would guess the bolts are at least grade 8 bolts.

173k miles worth of abuse and exposure to rock-salt...the K-member is shifting around a bit...I just need to get another set of bolts that aren't rotted...the last car I pulled them out of had 140k on it and the bolts looked scary rotten on that car.
