remember, your car may well use sierra running gear, but it isn't a sierra

so what does that mean will i have to get some made or something

Really you have to measure how long they should be and order. I got mine from Russbost on here - he makes them up to your specified length.

edit to add (why do I never get it right first time ? )

Make allowance for suspension travel and, on the front, wheel steering movement as well.

Try the lengths out with washer pipe from your donor first
