anyone know the size of the control arm bolts? I am going to be making some adjustments and saw the opportunity to make an excuse to replace some hardware with grade 8. thanks for any help...

stronger really? okay, I just wasnt sure how long you could use them, with the loosening and retightening that they see. as long as no probs with that then shoot i'll hang on to them, and spend money elsewhere! thanks!
You're talking about the lowers? or also uppers? Because I keep meaning to replace the one that's in the UCA on the frame end as the metal piece that's on the bolt head end is a PITA. It'd be so much easier to deal with it for removal if you could just take a socket to it on the outside side and spin it out then to use a wrench from the inside.
Going by the RE parts list on my recently-installed Drop Brackets I agree that the uppers are 10mm; RE wants you to drill the UCA pocket (inside the 'frame') to 1/2" (12.7mm) to accept a stronger bolt.
As for the lowers...they called for 9/16" x 12 x 4.5" bolts in the old mounting locations for the LCA. Grade 8 on the SAE, 10.9 on the metrics.
