some of the ruca bolts come with big knob for the camber adjustment. I have an extra one for sale, just pm me if you are interested

You should be able to pick one up from a local parts store, (Auto Zone, Napa, etc...)

so since this is bolt is for adjustement, and I am installing adjustable aftermarket RUCA`s, would I still need this bolt, or could I just get away with a regular one ?

You will still have to use a oem replacement because a regular bolt will still need a locking plate that the oem comes with.

Well you could technically use a bolt of the same size to replace that but its best to use a cam bolt. The Arm is most effective when its at its longest where it has more leverage.
