need help determining rear u bolt size

I have a 2000 4 wheel drive Ex and recently bought a set of Rough Country 4" LIFT BLOCKS. Currently my Ex is stock (springs, 2" blocks , etc). I want to remove the 2" blocks and install the 4". I replaced the front springs and am ok with the rear springs just want to replace the blocks. Can someone chime in on the sizeof the u bolts I am needing?

5/8in rod, 3.5 inch tube, and 14 inches long is what I used if I remember right.

Get to long and cut them off after installing and torquing them down.

HUSKY SPRING Part # UA207R $10.36 each from Rockauto plus shipping. They include deep wall nuts.

The OEM bolts are 10 1/2". The bolts above are 13 1/2".

Drill down their menu to the Suspension section of your vehicle. Click on "Leaf Spring Bolt" and the options are there.

The 13 !/2" are the standard length for the F350.

For some reason, Rockauto shows the 13 1/2" inch as a option in all the Excursion listings.
