Which u-bolt measurements should I use?

So I bought this truck ('95 F-150, 2WD) not too long ago, and the guy who owned it before me put 3" blocks under the leafs. Problem is the u-bolts are stripped to hell. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the u-bolts i'd need for the extra 3"? I'm really new at this and I'd appreciate your help.

Can you not just measure your existing ones and get new ones made?

yeah, but I was hoping to avoid that because that would mean getting the truck out of the storage lot its on now. I would have to pay them what I owe them for storage first.

I live in Europe, so I think I'm just going to have someone call Ford and get the specs for me.

A good offroad shop will be able to tell you what you need over the phone.

Pay your storage bill - ever watch Storage Wars or Auction Hunters?
