Size of Bolt Needed for A-Frame Jacks

Question

Question:

I just purchased two 5,000 etrailer and one Pro Series A-frame jacks. No where does it tell me the size and grade of bolt I am supposed to use. Can you help me out on this matter?

The etrailer and Pro Series A frame jacks will use 3/8 inch bolts, which is the standard size for A frame jacks and couplers.
