Full equivalent sizes may help if looking for similar none oem bolts

One would think if you can find bolts of at least this length or longer you should be ok Just have extra thread, but I could be wrong.

3, 3 1/2 & 4" are pretty common....

But, like I said, you need to stack some bead on two sides to keep them from spinning.

Definitely go a little longer if not going stock. Had to raise the bed a little for body lines after installing poly bushings and the stock bolts weren't any too long.

What do you think caused that Scott?

Stiffer cab bushings than 'normal'?

That has been my guess. I didn't measure the 35yo factory ones against the poly before installing them but I know the poly were a LOT harder. They also didn't seem to compress at all when torquing them down (again, didn't take any measurements). No complaints in the ride factor though.
