U-Bolts problem!! Where to buy???
Alright so my 3" lift kit did not come with U-bolts which doesn't make much sense to me but whatever....
OOK so I need the U-Bolts to fit the (8 3/4) 99' Jeep Cherokee rear axle size.
The measurements are 1/2" x 3" x 8"...
Does anyone know where I can order them, or better yet buy them at a local auto store because I called my local PepBoys and they didnt have it...
So any help would be appreciated and fast because im putting on the lift kit in a couple of days!!!

call up a local spring shop, they can custom make you a set right on site. they're better quality than store bought and are fine thread for a stronger app.

What you need to do is find a place that makes parts for 18 wheelers..We have one locally and I took my ubolts to them and they made me a whole new set longer and they are way stronger then anything that comes in these lift kits.

Go to NAPA is the best response yet. If you go and they cant figure it out just PM me and Ill get you a part number tommorow if they cant figure it out. Just tell them to look on the back of a u bolt box, all the sizes are listed there. Just tell them the numbers start with 650- in the balkamp isle.

The place I went to charged me $22 for a set. They threaded them on site and bent them. I figure if the are the same thing they use on big rig axles they should hold up on my Jeep. I also compared them to the ubolts RE sent with my lift and I can tell a huge difference. Also they have yet to show any signs of rust.

This. The wrong u-bolts came with my lift kit, so I took a trip down to a spring shop not too far away with the measurements I needed, and he had a set fabbed up in about 5 minutes, tops. Cost me $30. Make friends with them, if you can...their help can be invaluable sometimes.
