Soon to have some more upgrades. My 8.8 is out getting geared with 4.10's and will be packed with a locker. I've got a set of Durango leaf springs and some minty shackles. Thanks to Mjones, and great Ky weather. Getting my U-bolts today. Just need to figure out WTF I'm going to do for spring plates. The stock ones are flimzy and bend way too easy. I've got some 1/2" plate I could make some out of. Should go well with the 1/2" U-bolts. :D

Hey not a problem, glad to help.

You should make some out of that 1/2" plate you have. I still need to get me a new set for my 5/8" u-bolts; yes I said 5/8" u-bolts, that is all the shop had at the time I had mine made.

I was thinking about getting 5/8 ones also. But I'd rather not kink my axle tubes. I've used 9/16 U bolts before and they are overkill. The stock ones are metric but near a 1/2" size.

Yea I didnt' have to do anything with my tubes. They were custom bent to clear the axle tubes. The only modifications to anything was to the plates; I had to drill them to accept the 5/8" bolts.

I agree, they are WAY over kill, but I wanted them then and didn't want to wair:icon_cheers:

The only need for the 5/8 is when you are stacking blocks or over a 4" block height and need the tensile strength of a larger dia rod.

I've got 2" ranger blocks right now and I run the 9/16 U-bolts. The new setup will not have any blocks so the 1/2" is more than plenty.

Would be Kick ass if I could get the outboard shock setup done.
