Urgent - I need some longer u-bolts

Hi guys,
 
I forgot to order some longer ubolts for my new springs and as such the ones I have are too short.
 
Anyone got some longer than standard u bolts I can grab off them?
 
I am in Melbourne but happy to travel as I need them ASAP.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

    Matt I think you'll need some custom bolts made up for these springs as I know somebody whose just installed some and had pedders make up 4 new bolts for $50.

    Really, I am not so sure as they appear to be the same width but as I have added the metal spacer blocks the only thing that has changed is the height as per the pic.

    Oh ok. His bolts didn't have enough thread on them because the saddle bushes got binned. So you just need them longer like the bolts you'd use with lowering blocks? They should be easy to find

     Yeah, it didn't come with longer ubolts ad I didn't even think of getting longer ones.
     
    I have got it sorted with a set from Fordsy.
     
    Cheers,
