coulda sworn I just said......
What parts catalouge are you looking in? The front pivot bolt on an 86 Truck (assuming thats what you are talking about) is just a regular bolt. The bushing is pressed into the spring, and the sleeve is part of that bushing. The front bolt for rear springs is just a normal bolt.
The bolt you have pictured above is the FRONT pivot bolt for the FRONT springs on STRAIGHT AXLE rigs only. You wont find that part anywhere on your 86 Turbo 4Runner.

That is the part used for the front spring hanger pin on the front spring of '85 and earlier trucks and on the rear spring on '83 or earlier trucks. On the rear springs of '84 and later trucks, a plain bolt (14mm) is used for the hanger.

To the right is the stock rear spring hanger on my '85 which uses a plain bolt:

And the stock front spring hanger (before it was hacked off) which uses the bolt-in pin as pictured above:
