Help!! Question concerning rear leaf center pins......

I'm in need of the factory center pins that came on my truck. They are replaced when installing the Carli mini-packs (or full leafs) and somehow mine got lost during the installation. Would any center pin work fine? I was going to order some from the dealer but they can't seem to find the part number. My local dealer sort-of sucks at looking stuff up. Any help would be appreciated.

I know the factory pins are 1/2" so do yall think these would work?

That's all I've gotta do? If so then I'm in business.

Just go to any good hardware store and get some Grade 8 fine threaded 1/2 inch bolts. The length will vary depending on whether you are running the lifting blocks and/or the overload pack.

You may have to grind the bolt head some, but hex bolts actually work better than regular center pin bolts because the axle hole is large and not round. Remember, there are two bolts per side and be sure to get Grade 8.
