I'm pretty sure you can get longer u-bolts from TGC as well...otherwise a local machine shop can make them for you. There is one site online I found that makes them too...Falls Auto Spring. Type that in Google and you can look at their site. It looks like they are out of NY and specialize in light-heavy duty truck parts...From towing to custom leaf packs to brakes. I would go local though. They would be able to measure for you and you can get them thicker than the stock ones which is nice.

Thank you, I'm really glad I decided to ask before I tried to install them. Like I said I wasn't told I needed longer U bolts. If they're shipped fast enough the 2" aal and 3" leveling kit will be installed Friday

Let me rephrase that. I think it'll look better than what it does now*

Having trouble with this add a leaf gentlemen. I was able to take the pins and u bolts off but I'm having so much trouble putting the new leaf on and getting everything lined up. Is there any tips y'all can give me? I'm sure I'm having so much trouble because its late and I'm frustrated. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
