Yes Nick, if you don't put the spacer under the U bolt as well as the through bolt then it becomes necessary to shorten the U bolt, and in some cases also extend the threads on the U Bolts. You can use a short leaf from an old spring as a spacer or an appropriately sized piece of steel plate, I suggest it would be sensible to make this plate the width of the spring to avoid putting a bending load into the U bolt.
