A rocker body assembly includes a rocker body having a top surface with a hook formed thereon and a bore having an oval cross-section formed through the rocker body. The bore includes a crescent-shaped surface adjacent the hook and a primary surface formed on the top surface. A channel formed in the primary surface extends into the oval cross-section of the bore. A J-bolt having a threaded end and a hook end may be slidably disposed through the bore and channel, with a washer and threaded fastener engaging the threaded end to generate a clamping force securing an axle between the hook of the rocker body and the hook end of the J-bolt. The crescent-shaped surface enables rotational alignment of the J-bolt within the bore to accommodate axles of various sizes and is configured to reduce bending stresses and torque applied to the washer, the J-bolt, and the threaded fastener.
