Default What to do about U Bolts

As you guys can see I put my lift kit on today. Well we go to put the U bolts on and there not long enough. I had to go spend 45 dollars to get the size U bolts that I need. So my question is what do you think I should do? Its a rough country lift should I just contact them and tell them what happened or what do you guys think. I really didnt have the money to spend on u bolts but they wouldnt fit we tried. Thanks for the help.

u-bolts should only be used once. are you complaining you didnt have 45 dollars to buy them? its not RC's problem unless the kit stated they came with them and did not.

no they came with U bolts. They didn't fit. Sorry I should have explained better. They came with new u bolts that didn't fit.

then they shipped you the wrong ones. there are two sizes: 2.75" (d35 & d44) and 3" (8.25). RC has pretty good customer service. call em and explain.

they should have asked you to specify what rear axle to know what size ubolts to send you.
