Default Installing VB&P rear monoleaf?

AHAAA I am back made it to the states got my vette in Louisiana now and low and behold they snapped my rear monoleaf I had just installed prior to leaving Germany. Which leads to my question I went with the longer bolts 10inch (32332p) vs 9 inch installing bolt head up threads toward the ground they seem way to long please advise

background 1981 vette with max performace package from vb&P

Typically, the 8" bolts are correct. That's what I've got on mine, and it's lowered to Chevy Power book racing ride height settings. Don't see any reason to go longer, unless it's called for by the spring, in which case I'd think about that spring.

Welcome back!!

What?? Who snapped it?

How much is threaded? If the threads go quite a bit up, I'd just take some time to get the height right, then saw off the excess length.
