I don't know which bolts you're referring to, but you can't go wrong with grade 8 bolts. You'll find those at any hardware store or farm supply store. If what you need is a special bolt length or oddball size head, etc, your best bet is to get new ones from the dealer or find used ones in a salvage yard.

Used bolt from a junkyard are out of the question I am looking to go get new bolts as the repair manual states the manufacturer recommends replacing the bolts with new ones anytime they are removed

In that case, I would recommend just what carodiodoc said, grade 8. And yes, I understand why you don't want used ones.
