Default U bolt question?

Ok tried searching. Please don't hate. Might be a stupid question but o well. I want to buy new u bolts. I am getting a nice set of used Cherokee leafs and going with a rough country aal. Don't hate on me either for that. It's cheap. The leafs are free. Mine are broke...basically. so any how rough country sells a u bolt kit, with a 1.5 Spacers that I won't need, but for the Dana 35. I have the Chrysler 8.25. With they still fit?

They are different lengths. They should offer the u-bolts for more than one type of rear, is there no option to choose 8.25?

My rear leafts came with 2 sets. I have the c8.25. The others were smaller and if i remember correctly the 8.25 has a bigger shaft casing.

I didn't see other options. This was seen on ebay. The u bolts looked like they were nice quality. Maybe I can contact someone at rough country and they would be willing to package up the u bolts(c8.25) and my 2" aal. Buy them together that way they could ship them together maybe.

With my rc lift it came with a set for both axles. So I would assume that the kit that you will buy should come with some, or when you call Jason for your discount just ask about it, he is an easy guy to deal with.

Find a local spring shop. let them know what your doing and most will bend you up a set of U bolts while you wait.
