Here's a list of bolt sizes for the front end, as best as I can tell
(quantities are enough to do both sides):



Lengths refer to the bolt shaft, threaded or unthreaded, not including the
head.

Lower A-Arm (8 total with lock washers and standard nuts--bolts to suspension
x-member)



3/8"-24 x 1 5/16" (closest I could find was 1 1/2")

approx 5/8" unthreaded
