They laugh at me at the hardware store

Buying from a "hardware store" can be a costly mistake, there are different grades of bolts, whether they are stainless or not.
Putting the "wrong" grade bolts in high stress areas is a recipe for disaster.
Here is a website for you to look at

Most "hardware" store stuff is low grade garbage, I would'nt use it on a shopping cart.
If anything buy from the truck dealer, and let them know what you are doing with it and they will give you what you need.
Now back to your question, you will need to cal Western Star and get the ride height and where to measure it, ALL the manufactures are different.
If your trailer has the "Intraxx" air suspension it is 14" ride height set from the centerline of the forward axle to the frame directly above it.
