I know that the ones that went one the pinch weld were nothing special.  Your typical drill a hole and then put the bolt with a nut on and your good.   Not sure about the ones that go in the frame rail, don't remember.

Ya i know the ones on the pinch weld will be easy to get its just the frame rail i don't know about. Other people have told me about some big self tappers but i dont know if those would be alright or not.

Mine came with big self tappers too, And they are stainless steel, 5 bolts for the pinch seem,
And 4 for each arm into the frame. so 13 total bolts. I dont remember the size of them though.

Self tappers are fairly standard across all brands.

Just make sure you get the tappered one's, as the further you tighten them the tigheter they become.

I picked mine up at Ace about 3 years ago. I'd think that any hardware store should carry them...

I used self tappers to mount them up to the unibody, what size I really don't remember. 1/2" I think. I used 1/4-20 grade 8 bolts to mount it to the pinch seam.

FYI, DON'T ape arm the self tappers. If you go to tight the threads will pull out of the frame rail.
