help with u-bolts

I bought a used 4 inch lift kit for my 82 K30. It is like new condition with shocks, but the guy torched off the u-bolts. I didn't think it would be so hard to find new u-bolts, but it is turning out to be. I can find new ones for the front (D60), but the rear I'm not sure. What I have is a Corporate 14 bolt full floater, cab and chassis style narrow rearend. The stock u-bolts look to be 12inches long, they are squared on the closed end, approx 2 3/4 inside and I can't tell if they are 9 1/6 or 5/8, but I'm leaning toward 5/8. I don't need blocks, I only want to buy u-bolts, nuts and washers.
Superlift chart has a part # of 11144 that I think might be right, but I'm not 100% certain. And I can't find that part # through any of their online suppliers.
I figured this would be an easy one, I mean it's not like I'm the first guy to put a 4 inch lift in a Chevy with a 14 bolt.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
 
Check with your local farm supply or implement dealer. Sounds like one for a 2 1/2" square tube on a spray boom or tool bar.
 
Do you have a spring shop around? We have one in town and the must stock 500 different kinds and kind make whatever you need if they dont have it.
 
thanks, the guy I bought the lift from told me to go the spring shop, too. I know they have them, but the place is known for being expensive for springs and plow parts. But you talked me into it, I'm going to give them a call tomorrow morning.
 
I might be able to help you out within a weeks time.

OK, it isn't going anywhere too soon. Well, it's actually going into my cousins shop next weekend for the flexplate job, decided I wasn't up to doing that at home with no lift and no tranny jack. But it's not going on the road until I get the flexplate done then find 6 tires for it.
