Finally fixed this last night. I have one stock size bolt on the passenger side, & I drilled the broken bolt out & re-tapped it to 1/2". Little oversized, but it works & tightened up.
On the driver's side I re-tapped both of those to 7/16". Only problem I had was the tap broke (right near the end) but I knocked the broken part out with a punch.

So, my sway bar is back up & on it's new drop down brackets as the truck now has a 5" lift as well.

Guess I will just have to remember 9/16", 5/8" & 3/4" wrenches if I ever have to take the bar down again!
