Longer U bolts for lift

My buddy gave me some 4 inch blocks for the rear made by SuperLift. I am planning on cranking the torsion bars up front to keep it even, looking for 2 inches all around. I'm going to need longer U bolts for the rear. Is there a good place to get them from? Do they need to be a certain grade of steel? What length am I looking for?

I got some from a local autoparts store they had them made for me. You could probably order some from skyjacker or superlift? Or are you just looking for different alternatives...

they are 15 bucks a piece at carquest..I wound my front allt he way up -2 turns and added 1 leaf to the rear, got about 2-2.5 in the rear and 2 or better in the front, wheel arch height is almost 41" all the way around....thats with 305s...I wish I'd of added another leaf or done a single 5" block to replace the 2" and maxed the front...But I like the rear an inch or 2 higher then the front
