Hey, im getting a 3 inch lift so some new u bolts are in order.

i know i need some grade 8, but i dont know what diameter or length, i have a d35 in the rear and im getting some full 3 inch packs.

Also, is it okay to go to homedepot or lowes for these??

thanks alot, Leo

 

Most kits come with u-bolts,if not you can get them through the same place you are getting the kit.
Any 4wheel shop will have them and most autoparts,d-35 is very common and will be easy to find.

 

who are you ordering the leaf packs from? most kits come with new u-bolts. if not, measure the diameter of the axle tube.

 

Dana 35: 2 5/8 inch diameter

 

too bad you weren't closer, i have a brand new set, custom bent by a spring shop with hardened steel and fine thread.

 

is it ok to get them grade 8 from lowes or hdpot or something??

 

no, i wouldn't trust store quality.
simply open up the phone book for a local spring shop and bring them a sample or measurements of what you need.

they maybe a little more expensive, but 100 times the quality.
hence, chrome u-bolts suck.

 

Not sure about AZ but in NY most autoparts stores have both the 2.62" for the dana and 3.00" for the Chrysler in stock
