Need help figuring out the aize of my stock 1997 ranger axel U bolts

[Dbartos21]

I need to replace my leaf spring and I need to change the ubolts also. I cannot figure out the size of them auto order new ones. I know they are flat bottom tho

Can you measure the bottom side to side inside measurement (leaf spring width).
Then measure the height of the vertical threaded ends?
