length of u bolts toyota - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

What is the length everyone is using for their U-Bolt flip kits? I know they are 9/16" diameter. But what about the length? This would be for a toyota rears up front with stock 85 axle, and an IFS rear 88 axle with 63" chevy springs if it makes any difference.
What length of U bolts should I get?

Thanks

FROR's kit comes with either 7 or 7.5" long ubolts. What size is better? Should I look for longer ones just incase I add more leaves to the spring back in the future?
They are also 3.0 or 3.5 inches wide, what is the difference? Are the 79-83 axles a smaller diameter?
Thanks

Also, where is a good place to purchase the u bolts inexpensively?

Thanks in advance.

I can't measure yet because I don't have the springs or axle ready. I just was hoping someone new and could tell me.
Thanks
