leaf spring u bolts

Anyone got a good source and size for u bolts?

Going into a 98 2500, dana 80 rear. It has everything from the towing package other than the 4.10 gears. Looks like the bolts are 16" long, and maybe 3" ID, does that sound right?

Might want to check for a local spring/axle shop, I found one near me that made them right in front of me for something like $15 each with all hardware. Plus you know they are the right size that way.
