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?

 

yes you can... autozone or napa or whatever... napa has a bigger selection...

 

I was getting crazy shaking last night, so i took it up on a jack today and what do you know, the kid who sold me the jeep put the wrong u-bolts on! The whole damn drive shaft was ready to come off. So i got the right ones today and now everythings all good Go to Napa they'll have the right u-bolts.

 

OK, good to know, hopefully I can get this thing done tomorrow night, I'm tired of getting rides to work..

 

will you be able to get u-bolt plates at napa as well?

 

yes... they come with them in the box

 

outstanding have to get a set for my 8.25!

 

plates? why would I need plates, the original ones are fine unless you are talking about something else..

 

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..

 

The only things in the U-bolt box from Napa.. is U-bolts and nuts....

But OP you can use 5/16ths grade 8 socket head cap screws. They are the ones will Allen heads.

 

yeah i was thinking of the exhaust u bolts that come with the flat part... no there axle u bolts... my bad... was sleepy last night... lol

 

well now you guys got me confused.. I guess I'll have to wait for NAPA to open so I can give them a call

 

My local NAPA definitely does not carry axle U-bolts.. so now I am on a hunt, or I will need RC to overnight me the set.

 

buy the axle lift block kit from autozone or advance. its like 30 bucks, use the u bolts and hardware, toss the blocks.

 

lol thats what i do

its about $22 here for 4 u bolts and blocks

or I can buy the same exact u bolts in the block kit separately for $8 each. which is hella more monies
