mind if I inquire as to why you'd want to do that when people have been known to break 1/2" bolts?

Spring bushings are the same size as stock and I really don't want to be messing around trying to find the bushings to jump up a bolt size.......................

I'm pretty sure that ORD will sell you just the bushings you need, as a separate part. You don't have to buy the whole kit, and it should be fairly inexpensive. I wouldn't want to mess with the stock bolt size. I bent them when I had open diffs and 31's. By the time I went with 36's and wheeled once, they were done for. I don't even like the idea of them in a stock rig.

I wouldn't worry extremely about 7/16" bolts,(though I would worry too) but you plan to jump don't you? Air under the tires is the hardest on a suspension...
