Does anyone know the correct bolt size for the passenger side JKS front adjustable TB?? My stock bolt broke at 110 lbs of torque along with the lead nut. I’m looking for a better fit I’ve attached some photos for better understanding thanks

That sounds like your problem right there. The JKS track bar uses the stock bolt to attach to the axle on the passenger side and the torque spec for that bolt is 40 ft lbs.

I don't know exactly how long the bolt is, but for a couple bucks I would buy the OEM replacements:

If you already have it removed slip down to a hardware store and buy a new grade 8 bolt and nut to replace it. Throw a lock washer in there while you’re at it.

Do you by chance know what type of nut sits behind axel end? It’s the nut that has a flat piece of metal welded to it?? Thanks
 
It’s just flanged hex nut. It’s okay, I went ahead and ordered anyways! Thanks for the links! I appreciate it
