Default shackle bolts

Ijust bought a set of shackles for my 96 Blazer from ebay but they didnt come with the hardware to mount them.
Does anyone know what size the bolts are and where i can find them?

i either reuse the old stuff
or take the old stuff over to the hardware stuff and get some grade 8 replacements
however sometimes the bolts will seize themselves to the metal sleeves in the bushings and ya gotta cut em off

You can get the correct size bolts at Home Depot... but you very well may be able to reuse the stock bolts. I didn't bother with new bolts when i installed my shackles... usually as long as you can get the bolts to rotate within the sleeve, you're fine. I cut my old shackles in half and pounded them out to get the bolts to come out.
