The U-bolts are tough to buy b/c most people just pick them up at their local spring shop. If possible, bring an old U-bolt and spring plate w/ you to measure the u-bolt lengths and make sure the U-bolts were bent enough to fit into the spring plates. The U-bolts are made from round stock and bent to your specs on a press. I forgot to bring a spring plate w/ me last time I had U-bolts made. Some of the u-bolt would not go into the spring plate holes - and forget trying to bend them yourself to fit. SO, I brought the u-bolts back for their threaded ends to be made parallel and at the correct width to fit the spring plate holes.
BTW: your doing the right thing by not reusing the old U-bolts.
Good Luck.
