Removing Body lift, Factory bolt length?

I am removing a 3 inch body lift that the previous owner had installed on my 94 4runner. Does anybody know the length and diameter of the body mount bolts that come from the factory.?

I plan to replace with grade 8 bolts and nyloc nuts.

THANKS

94 4runner 4wd A/T 3.0

just go to advance auto or somewhere similar and buy a polyurethane bushing kit for the body and it will come with everything you need including bolts.

Thanks, But i think it may be more economical to just get new bolts.

Any body else?

Body mount bushing kits typically do not come with new hardware, you re-use the existing bolts:

For new hardware, just get bolts 3" shorter than what is on there now, typically 3/8" dia., stock is 10mm:
