Auto parts store, tractor supply, anyplace like that. Any 4wd or truck accessory store or shop may also have them.

I took some factory blocks out of a 75 Power Wagon 200 that were 5 in tall opposed to my 3 inch blocks and HOLY CRAP is it hard to find u-bolts! Not as common as one may think, checked farm/fleet stores, auto parts stores, even a shop that builds custom off road trucks, the only thing i could find was ordering them through o'rielys for $75 for 4 frickin bolts. Ebay has them for around $50 shipped, but still... so long story short im in the process of making my own
