are U-bolts "one time" use?

i have searched the internet. too close to call. by my call, it is 50/50. some say they stretch, and can only be used once. other say, if you have enough length, reuse them.

i am talking about the u-bolts on my rear suspension (toyota tacoma, 2006). leaf springs. i have add-a-leafs, coming to me..and i forgot to order new u-bolts. i specifically asked the salesperson, "anything else?". nope, nada, zilch...

they are not that expensive, so maybe new hardware would be cool, but all the ones i find are a bit longer and will need to be trimmed, so they dont hang that low. silliness.

pelican braintrust has never steered me wrong.
