Your truck 2WD or 4WD ? the U-bolts will be adjusted for the larger block size. If you have a 2WD and no blocks they will be 3" bigger... if you have a 4WD and 1 5/8" blocks ...they will be an 1" bigger.. Ready Lift will send you the correct ones if you order correctly..not sure the exact length of the bolts that come with the 3" block kit, look to be at least twice the size of the 3" block so I would guess 6-7" long. As long as your not stacking blocks...you are good.

it's 4wd. I'm not buying the kit. I'm getting the blocks used and need to buy U bolts, which is why I'm asking for the length so I can order some...

In your original post you said you were looking on the Ready lift web site..
You will need U-Bolts 1" bigger than your stock ones...just measure those and add an 1".

Yes, because I'm buying readylift blocks, that are used, and need new U bolts for them.

"What length U bolts do I need for 3" Readylift blocks?"

Sounds like you don't have the answer I'm looking for. Thanks though

I think you can get them in some hardware stores? I might have seen them in a Menards before.
