I measured the ones currently on the XJ and they are only about 6.5" with about 1/4 - 1/2 projecting above the nut. 7.5" must give you about 1.5" projecting above the nut. Seems long enough!

Went to four wheel parts yesterday needing u-bolts for my 98 8.25 I have concluded they aren't much smarter than autozone or advance counterboys. Btw still no u bolts!!
