u bolt sizes
My 2011 f250 has a leveling kit on the front end that makes it look like it leans toward the rear end. I'm planning on putting some 1 inch aluminum spacers on the rear to make it sit level. To do this I will need to put longer u bolts on it. Does anyone know what diameter and length u bolts I will need? Also recommendations where to purchase would be helpful.

You'll just need to measure. If there's a spring or big truck shop nearby they can make anything you want while you wait. Determine what kind you need whether round or semi-round, square, etc.
There are a gazillion places online that sell them, OEM or whatever you need.

Well I took the truck to a local shop and had them check the sway bar links and Trac bar. They said that everything was solid as can be. One tech did notice that the cheap rubber leveling kit looked a little squished. They think it is the culprit . they quoted me 160 dollars to remove the kit. The only problem is I have fairly new 35s on the truck and I'm not sure if they will clear without the leveling kit. Does anyone know if the 35s will clear?

When I was putting the add a leafs on, I was about to buy longer U-bolts on line but after crawling under and seeing what they were, decided to go to the local big spring shop. If I had purchased what I thought was the right parts on line, I would have had $80 of unusable junk instead of $60 of the correct pieces and of the right length. (I still haven't put those add a leafs on as the air bags have worked out just fine
