    Try a hardware store. They'll have more of a variety of diameters and thread pitches. Trial and error.

    Try a ace hardware store... they have more metric option typically.

    Looks like the other one is ready to fall off also, and bolt is backing out.

    Dang that is scary. I think my bolts had red loctite on from the factory so I made sure to add a couple drops when I did my suspension.

    Edit: Yep, confirmed. Red loctite. Snug it up, lower the truck to the ground, bounce, and tighten to 61ft/lb.
