U-Bolt sizing for an OME rear leaf set-up

Good evening all, I am in the midst of assembling the required parts to put an OME suspension on my '01 Tacoma TRD OR and the last outstanding parts are a pair of replacement U-bolts for the rear. I'm using a dakar pack without an AAL, I have a stock rear end otherwise, can anyone provide me with some direction on sizing these U-bolts, I don't even know where to start. I can have them made locally at a spring and suspension shop but unfortunately they were not able to provide any direction on sizing either.
Any help would be much appreciated.

ask your local company if they "cut" or "roll" the threads (info clicky). if the threads are cut you may want to just order a set of u-bolts off a reputable online vendor - I've had good experiences with Marlin Crawler for the little bits like this

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, I live in Ontario though so, while having a set of U-Bolts shipped up here from the states may solve a lot of my problems, I can't help but feel that I'll ultimately be paying twice the price for them vs just getting them locally. Any specific sizing info would be awesome, ie; length, thread sizing etc...

In most cases I get my parts from the US as its about 1/2 the price.

I just figured that once you factored in shipping and duty on a relatively inexpensive part in the first place, you'd quickly arrive at a price to your door that would be much higher than what I could pay for it locally, maybe I'm wrong, I'll look into it...
