all blocks need to be the same height, bolts are of course going to be a standard size just longer - go high tensile and consider electroplating however, be careful of hydrogen embroilment.

as for the bar, might be a good time to consider a custom/home made job, otherwise you will need to cut up that nice ARB bar.
