Expert Reply:

The bar stock you use should be at least the size of the square part of spindle # TRU97FR which is 1-1/2 inches.

Square axles are normally found in 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes and there are suspension u-bolt kits for these sizes so I would not recommend using a different size because it might become difficult to source parts.
