Front U Bolt Size

What I read is the front u bolt size width is 3-1/8". But there are u bolt by size that only have 3 or 3-1/4" and list 3" for the excursion. Are there different measurement different manufactures use?

While I didn't measure the width, the bolts from PMF (link below) in semi round 9.5 inch length fit my Ex great.

The leaf spring width is 3". To keep it simple, you simply buy 3" leaf spring U-bolts which are in turn 3.125" wide.

Agreed, the PMF u-bolts are nice and use an e-coating. Just put some PMF leafs on a couple weeks ago.
