Or would a bolt fitting the existing holes suffice even though the diameter of solid metal would be less due to the threads?
Do you folks always drill a bigger hole rather than use the original hole diameter?

On suspension parts (spring hangers,ect), I like to go a little oversized to get a nice snug fit on a 7/16" bolt. On your app, I think Tex told you straight.....just drop the 3/8" grade 8 bolts in & forget about it
