Default Need to find decently affordable repalcement u-bolts

I have an OME lift, and am going to add a leaf to my rear springs, I would like to replace the u-bolts, but OME's ubolts are 60 a set.......... that seems nutty to me. Anyone have a recommendation for a good set that might be a little more affordable?

Generally speaking AAL kits come with the lengthened ubolts.

Well, do a search for your lift height bolts for your xj. Gotta do some searching to get specific things.

All the parts stores sell lift blocks kits. Buy a set, get the U bolts & recycle the blocks.

You don't need anything fancy. 18 wheelers use basic 1/2" hardware and there is no way you are doing more load than them. Go to napa or somewhere and buy something for your axle tube diameter.

Any trailer or spring shop close to you should have them, or be able to bend them for you in a few minutes. I paid around $25 for all 4 and hardware.
