what bolt do you guys use? are they anything special compare to the one at the hardware store? any info would be great.

You would probably want a grade 8 bolt. Other than that it's just a bolt. I forget the size and thread though.

We use grade 5 when we don't have the factory bolts. 3/8-16x1 1/2" long. Check the depth of thread before tightening as the 1 1/2" long bolts have to be cut off if they bottom in the thread.
