Which axle you you have???? They are 1/2" and 7" to 9" long.. But with out knowing your axle can't say what size. Really you need to measure to determine correct length.

Lowes or Home Depot WILL not have U-bolts you can use on an axle. You need to get them from automotive supply or a spring shop. Chryco 8.25 is a 3"x1/2" U-bolt, I would get 8"or 9" and cut the excess off.

x2 even auto parts stores have stopped carry them. your best bet is to find a spring shop or ask around and see. they need to be custom ordered

Yeah, it's true most auto parts store don't stock them, but they can order. I even went to a local Custom 4X4 builder/supply shop and they don't sell U-Bolts. But they told me where they have them custom made at another shop in town. So ask around, my bet is there is someone local that makes them. I got mine for $35 for full set, took only 15 minutes.
