i started installing a 3 inch lift under my cherokee today. we installed the front coils and new shocks without too many issues. but.....when we started the back we found out that the u bolts would not bolt up. i spread them to get them to go over the axle but then they wouldnt align to get the other side to bolt up. my question is would tractor supplie or another place have some i could pick up in the a.m. to fiinish the build? has anyone ran into this before?

 

Do you have a 8.25? the axle tube is wider they prob sent u the d35 bolts. I dunno this is just me but i;d rather have them send me out new ones asap.

 

well at least i think i do? not for sure how to determine that. when i was comparing the stock bolt and the new one they looked like the same except that the diameter of the new one was bigger making the inside spacing smaller.

 

you proably have an cry8.25 rear end and U-bolts for the d35 like skreed said

any parts store should have U-bolts, but i have heard that rough country will overnight ship stuff and if its there mess up they proably wouldnt charge for that

 

Take a look see what you have

 

thanks guys! i just picked up some ubolts from oreily's. i do believe that i have the chrysler rear end. anyway i took the stock bolt with me and found some that were about an inch longer that will work! if anyone else runs into this the oreily stock number is a 65307 ubolt kit. again thanks! im off to put this thing back together!

 

AWESOME PIC
