Default 1967 mustang convertible shackel lift kit question

I purchased a shackel lift kit for my 1967 Mustang convertible. The bolts that came with the kit were 1/2 inch thick with a bolt head size of 3/4 inch.On my Mustang the bolt thickness on my shackel is 3/8 inch with a head size of 9/16 inch. Is 3/8 inch thick normal and does anyone know where I can find a lift kit and bushings that will fit these 3/8 thick bolts.I was also wondering if anyone makes a leaf bushing for my 1967 Mustang that has a bolt hole size of 1/2 inch thick. Then I could use my lift kit with the 1/2 thick bolts. If anyone has a part number or a store where I can find this stuff let me know. Thanks for the help,Ken

Why are you buying a shackle lift kit? Just get a load leveler aka add a leaf from any parts store they will add a inch lift.

Never mind I measured the bolts thickness by the thread.I didn't realize when I took the shackle off that it was a shoulder bolt and the middle of the bolt is actually 9/16.
