Lift Spring U-Bolts

I bought a used Superlift all spring 4" lift for my 78 F-250, but I didn't get the u-bolts that were used when it was installed. I want to replace my u-bolts when I install the lift, so I need to know what length of bolt to get. It seems to me that the stock length u-bolt will work fine, since I'm not adding or subtracting any block from the suspension. Is this true?

You could go to the parts store and look in the suspension section. I know my local Autozone has the u-bolts in either stock or lifted version for use with the 4" blocks. Maybe try there. Most aftermarket u-bolts I've seen have a few inches of threads on each side so it can fit many different lengths. All you really need to do is make sure it is the correct width. If you use any kind of block in the rear then you need to get the style for lifted rears. Hope that helps.
