Default Double question (shackle flip, and new sway bar)

Exactly what hardware do I need for the shackle flip? Grade 8 bolts that are 7/16in in diameter x 1in in length? 8 of those, and 8 lock nuts? Also will spray paint help to fight corrosion, and do I need to sand the frame there before painting? Also I bought a inch sway bar for a bronco2/ranger and from the pic it seems like it not only bolts to the frame but the axle?

Yup, except I think 1" is too short. I'd use minimum 1-1/4" long bolts, grade 8. Wire-wheel on angle-grinder works swell for rust removal. Paint is better than rust, so yeah. Lastly, yes, sway bar does clamp onto rear axle with a clamp on each side of pumpkin, using approx 4-1/2" long bolts. I hope you got those clamps with it.
