Whasize U-bolts??
Throwin the lift on tomorrow, Believe i have a d35 in the back, am using a rc 3 inch block (used) am going to local spring shop to have new u-bolts made, whats the size and length, i need to know so they know what to give me, sorry, lost my tape measure. Also, do i need a track bar relocate bracket for 3 inch lift? Im going to be running 15x8 d-windows, 3/75 bs, would 33's rub with stock control arms an such (no flexing, just street duty), or should i just roll with 31's, and play it safe?? Any pics/comments on 33's and 3inch would be apprec!! thanks

Blocks suck, but 3" dia is what the D35 is. You may be alright at 3" lift with stock T-bar. But either drill a new hole .75" to the driver side, or get an adjustable one.

Blocks will be just fine for a dd rig. and i have seen a xj with 3" and 33" however it took a lot of trim. and the above guy is incorrect, 8.25c has 3" u bolts, not sure on the d35 though. Good luck and have fun.

Not sure what size a d35 u bolt is. However a 3" u bolt will be fine as they use the same top plates. But just so you know if you are getting custom U-Bolts made then make sure they are ASE grade 8 or Metric grade 10.9. I have seen alot of non grade 8 u-bolts stretch bad and a few brake out on the trails. and a 3" block is a HUGE block.....
