just out of curiousity... when u order your susp lift.. and they ask u what axle it is for... weather it be a 8.25 or d35... is the only difference the size of the u bolts?

i believe the d35 are 2 3/4inch ID.

and the chrystler is 3inch ID.


Does anyone know if thats the truth? TIA

 

You are correct on the only thing being the ubolt size. The measurements are correct. I have a local shop that makes ubolts for big rigs make my ubolts. They are stronger and are larger bolt diameter then what most lifts come with. The ones I had made made the RE ones look small.

 

ok.. thought so.. but wasnt positive of it...


if the ID of the 8.25 ubolts are 3inchs... what is the height of them.. anyidea?

we have ubolts at work and im gonna check to see if we have the correct size


im ordering the 3inch rough country lift and they are fitted for d35

 

The length depends on what you need to properly bolt the leaf packs in. If you get new leaf packs you will need longer then stock. I forget how long mine are. I can measure them if you want?

 

its ok... no need to go roll around on the ground .. but i apreciate the offer tho..


jcwhitney has the susp kit for 235 shipped.. but its sold with the d35 ubolts and i called rough country and they said if i order through them they would send me the 8.25 ubolts instead.. but they id get hit with all the shipping charges plus they are more expensive...


ill see what i have at work, and ill go from there.. thanks for your help!

 

One thing to remember JCWhitney doesn't have the same level of warranty and such as what you will get from going directly through RC. Basically you will get better service through RC.
