Size of fron and rear axle u-bolts?

Does anyone know the standard size nomenclature of the U-bolts for the front axle, and the two non-bent ones for the rear?

BTT. Can anyone help me with this? Want to know the right size so I can get the parts at NAPA without cutting them off the truck first...

Just measure the thickness. I got Ubolts for a 3/4t Chevy, they worked fine for me. ? Not that helpful LOL

I just read this, if you can wait a few minutes until I have my coffee I'll go out to the shop and measure mine, I just installed them a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the ubolt plates Tacoma. Your brushguard is looking awesome, too bad you won't see it for awhile.

OK coffee done, much better. Front ubolts I bought mine from Napa are 2 3/4 inch width for same width axle tube by 71/2 " length, I threw away the boxes so I don't have a part #. The rear ubolts came from AB Linn when I bought new leafs, they measure 31/2" axle tube width by 81/2 inches in length. I added the bend via BFH and a large vise. Remember torqe em, drive, torqe em drive, torque em, drive then double nut em. Good Luck
