Rear Coil Spring Bolts Size?

Anybody know the diameter and length of the bolts for the rear coil springs? I'm about to replace mine with TJ coils and wanted to get some new bolts in case I snapped the old ones. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Rear Coil Spring Bolts Size?

i did mine a few weeks ago and they barely came off and i soaked them with WD for a week prior, i replaced all mine with new bolts and nylocks. the top ones are around an inch to inch and a half and i think i used 4 inch for the bottoms. they are all 1/2-13.
