Default Fab Fours rear bumper

I just bought a FF rear bumper and tire carrier from a forum member. This is not the new design. Bumper is great but as I was about to install it yesterday, I noticed that I didn't have the bolts for the bumper. It uses 4 of the factory bolts that go into the side of the frame, just like the stock bumper did, but it also has four bolts that go through the rear of the frame and into the bumper that has welded nuts on the other side. (Hopefully, someone with this bumper will know what I'm talking about....) Long story short, I need to know what size the bolts are. They are smaller than the bolts used for the stock trailer hitch and seem the same size of the stock bumper bolts but maybe a different thread?? I've checked Fab Fours site but they only have info on the new design.

Anyone??

I think I might have those 4 bolts. If you have a few days before install, I can mail them to you.

Want me to check?

I guess it might be easier to just figure out what they are and go to the hardware store, though. haha
