Which brings us back to my original issue. This bolt list says the bolts
for the rear springs are 2 3/4" long. This is a typo and should read 3 3/4"
long.
My other issue is that the 7/16" bolts will not fit through the shackles or
the front mounts for the leaf springs. It is very close and I will only
need to ream out the holes a little bit to make it work. I just thought it
odd that the originals were also 7/16" and they must have worked. I don't
have the originals to compare to though.

Tigers,
Lots of interest being shown in fasteners.
Kirt Jensen has a great fasteners list, including vendors, on TigersUnited:

Although 18-8 stainless is a good material, for really high stress
applications a hardened steel (4130) should be used. It can more easily
corrode, but is much stronger.
