Default U bolt size

Any body know the size of the u bolts for the rear leaf spring on the D 35?

I think the bend is 3 inches, but I have to order a new set for my pack and dont have the jeep with me.

Do you know the length and diameter as well??

Chuck

I may be mistaken, but I believe the D35 has a 2 7/8" bend. The 3" bend is for the 8.25.

I have a set of these somewhere- they are Pro-Comp and came with my RE lift (3.5" kit)

They are smaller than 3" because that's what I needed for my 8.25 and they didnt' fit. Seems I was sent the wrong ones.

PM me with an offer and I'll dig them out tomorrow.

I think this is what he's looking for:

And by the looks you would need two sets of those to do both leaf springs.

I ended up calling a local spring shop and he had them for me, less than $30 for all 4

According to his computer they should have a 2.75 inch bend (D35) with a 1/2 inch diameter rod. I think he said 6" long, I ended up getting 8" because I am doing a bastard pack, but I am sure I can cut em down to size

thanks for the info

Chuck
