No I don't recall so I looked it up in my build details. My couplers are 1-3/4 inches long and 7/16-20 threads that match my other hardware. Specifically are 90977A190 from McMaster. These are grade 5 steel. The ones in hardware and big box stores are typically not marked, and I suspect not grade 5. Don't know that it's critical, but I feel better using those. Length isn't critical other than to make sure you have plenty of thread engagement for both the attachment bolt and the threaded rod for your quick jacks or bumpers, whatever you're using.
