Generally you want at least two or three threads past the nut, and your not really suppose to reuse ubolts. they are one time use because they stretch when first torqued

Want at least a few threads past the nut. "Technically" U-bolts are not to be reused, they are rolled threads, not cut. Any truck shop or spring shop, somebody local to you can make them while you wait. Bring an old one along so they can match width and determine round or half round, square etc.
