Default torque arm bolts

im gonna be getting a UMI non adjustable torque arm, and i saw that the stock bolts for the rear end may not be long enough. i know they are 9/16, but how long are the new set of bolts you can get? i ask because i have millions of bolts and i dont know what to look for in terms of length.

If I get a chance, I'll get you the measurements of the upgraded torque arm bolts (the longer ones) when I get home today (should be by noon).

They're longer by about 1/2" than stock but somewhat
beefier through the middle as well, not necked down
like stockers. You're looking at about 6" long. But you
also want high grade, this is a high stress point in the
drivetrain trying to keep the mount from spreading.
So not just any old Home Depot made-in-China bolt
will do.

I just bought the UMI "kit" so as to not have to figure
out whether other bolts were up to the job, the hard
way.

I, too, have the UMI bolts (ordered them with my new torque arm). They are 9/16" diameter (.5625"), 7&3/8" long (7.375"), grade 8 (going by the head marking), and plated for corrosion resistance.
