Hardware for leafs
 
plain and simple, i just ordered my brackets to lower the truck. but i have a funny feeling things are going to fight me..... does anyone know what the width and length of the bolts through the frame are, and what the length and all of the U-bolts are???

I used 3/8 bolts 2" long through frame. U-bolts are 1/2" bolts like 4" long?
