I think people get enough pucks and use the previous gen body lift kits but i am not 100% sure... I have heard of them before...

LMAO... or Lowes, or a fastener outlet... In a case like this though where my life is at stake, I'd go to our local fastener store and pay the extra 50cents per bolt and have that comforting feeling knowing that when I hit the brakes, the body on my truck will stop along with the frame.

If you have a tractor dealership near by, they'll have the bolts you need in Gr.8 or equivalent metric strength rating and will likely have them cheaper than any other place.
