This was discussed above.

We have poly bushings w/ removable sleeve. Leaves a ~3/4" center hole, 18mm will fit fairly well:

Easy enough to drill out the bolt holes for a 3/4" bolt if you want a tighter fit. Plus a 3/4" bolt is half the price of an 18mm one.

I second the 3/4" bolt. That's what I did on mine. Just don't do what I did and get a long 3/4" bit. Using a short one makes it a tad bit difficult to get the holes to line up on both sides of the hanger.

Might be a little difficult and I am gonna add this for my own reference too regarding 3/4" greasable bolts. 14mm and 18mm bolts seem easy to find but not 3/4". 4crawler know anyone who has the 3/4" greasables?
