Some parts stores have the U-bolts in there 4x4 area, you may also check
4x4 stores if you have one in your area!

Don't buy from an auto parts store! If you actually use your 4x4 rig for dirt and stuff those ubolts will break. Go to a spring fabrication shop. They should sell some nice fat ones! I am using 5/8 Grade8. The plates can be had at a salvage yard. Don't try to make your own. Too much time and they bend.

If you are going to a junk yard for the plates you need, you may want to
look at some of the U-bolts that are on the trucks that have a double stack
of leafs they may be long enough for your blocks.
