U-bolts for OME leaf pack
can someone recommend u-bolts for OME leafs besides OME u bolts? I saw Rubicon Express has U-bolts, and the parts are listed as RE 1220 and RE 1225. They difference is one is 2.75" wide, the other is 3" wide. I was leaning towards buying one of those, but not sure what size I need. thanks.

U-bolts are measured by the inside of the u-bolt or the outside diameter of the axle tube. My 86 Cherokee tube is 2 1/2" outside diameter. You should measure either your current u-bolt I.D. or caliper measure the O.D. of your axle tube. Happy Jeepin'

I'm sorry, forgot to mention you need the same size bolt, mine were 1/2" u-bolts. The u-bolts for my xj were listed as 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 6" didn't mean to confuse anyone. happy jeepin"
