Use washers bro, recently found my rear shock had traveled to one side and almost ruined it. It's worth the $6.

Required a 1/2" bolt also?

Does that require drilling out the mount?

I used a 1/2" bolt with mine plus a boat load of washers, no drilling.

What is length of 1/2 bolt? Like, I assume the carriage aspect of the bolt is X and the threads are Y?

I live in the middle of nowhere so seeing if I can order it vs. several 50 mile round trips to hardware store.

I re-used my stock bolt with my skyjackers. Either way your stock bolt should be the right length if you go the 1/2" bolt route. The easiest thing to do might be to go outside and measure your stock bolt.
