Default need new u-bolts

ordered a fabtech spindle kit , and am putting 2 inch blocks and a two inch AAL's
in the rear, thought the AAL would come with U-bolts, apparently you have to get the made , i'm assuming i would give them the measurements of the stock u-bolts plus 4 inches? if anyones had this problem help would be appreciated i wanna put this lift in on friday and i'm gonna be screwed without u-bolts.
my trucks an 08 sport but im sure the u bolts would be the same from the 01 edges up?

Shouldn't matter, all 28 spline Ranger axles have 2.75" tubes. Only Torsen-equipped FX4 8.8s differ from that (31 spline, 3.25" tubes).

You might be able to use stock 4x4 Ranger u-bolts on that with a 2" block.
