Longer U Bolts

I just started installing a 6" lift on my 98 XJ, the stock U bolts for the leaf packs are too short and I need longer ones. I found some online but they are a little more expensive than I expected, anyone have a recommendation for aftermarket U bolts? I have the Chrysler 8.25 rear and I need some that are about 5" longer

5" longer?? Are you using blocks? U bolts are pretty standard in price from what I've seen, as long as you find the correct ones just buy them

sounds like either blocks or a quadruple stacked bastard pack.. lol

if you are using blocks, the blocks should have came with u-bolts...

I have 6" leaf packs, no blocks. The guy thats helping me lift it said I need U bolts that are about 3" longer than the stock ones, but told me to get 5" longer just in case. I just thought $50+ for U bolts was a little much
