Well I am in the home stretch of my series II install, doing the rear springs and I thought I was almost done.. wait, what!? The Ubolts don't fit! So they sent me the Dana 35 Ubolts and I have a Chrysler 8 1/4...
Does anyone think I can get Ubolts from an auto parts store? Or is RC going to have to overnight me the correct ones?

well I just woke up with an awful thought.. if I got the wrong U-bolts then that means they also sent me the wrong leaf springs! No wonder I couldn't get the pins to fall into the holes in the axle! The alignment pins on the springs must be different as well.. oh this really sucks because now it looks like I'm going to be down for the weekend..
