Upper control arm bolts

I have been doing a little research trying to locate a replacement bolt. The only one I can find is from LMC truck and there seems to be mixed reviews weather they are correct or not. Other than the head of the stud being larger than a wheel stud, is there any reason I can't use one if I find the correct knurl in a 1/2" stud?

Re: Upper control arm bolts

Which bolts? The studs that hold the upper control arm to the frame/crossmember?

I bought a kit from LMC but didn't use them. They look to be the correct size and knurl.

Yes, those studs. I'll just order a couple then and see what I get, they are cheap.
