Default U-Bolts

I have recently purchased a rough country 3 inch suspension lift and I am installing the rear leaf springs and the U-Bolts are bending when i put them on the axle (these are the ones they sent me from the site) i have a chrysler 8.25 axle. Did they send me the wrong ones or is this supposed to happen (if so how do i fix it)?

Sounds like they sent you the smaller D35 u-bolts. RE did the same thing to me. The 8.25 has a 3 inch axle tube, D35 is significantly smaller. Call and get them to send the right ones, def sounds like they are too small.
