Where should I get exted U bolts for my rear leaf springs? Is there a specific size that I need? Thank you.

 

auto zone or pepboys quickest

 

I used the local spring shop cuz Napa was the only one who could get them and wanted like 70 bucks, cost me 26 for all 4 at 3 inches wide by 9 inches long. What size depends on your axle. 8.25 is 3 inches wide, dana 35 is 2.62 inches wide. as for length, measure from bottom of axle to top of bolt plate, figure out what your adding, add 1 or 2 more inches and cut off extra.

 

x2 on the local spring shop. fine thread, better steel and stronger u-bolts. and you can get a custom length.

 

I just ordered a set from my local spring shop. they cost me less than $30 for both sides. You can also get center pins, straps, and anything else you need

I see someone wrote above that the inner diameter was 2.62??

I thought they were 2.75" inner diameter, rod diameter was 1/2", and I got 8" of length. I think stock is somewhere in the 6" range, but you can cut the threads to fit.

I ordered them tuesday, he told me they would be at my door today.

These are the guys I got them from, real nice small shop, family business

According to the book and computer, dana 35 has an axle diameter of 2.62 inches. last time I went and bought u bolts, local spring shop made them in front of me, took about 5 minutes for all 4.
