Ok so I have been looking for some new u bolts for my truck and the local parts stores just don't seem to have what I need either they are too long or too short or too fat or they don't have ones with the round bend.
My truck has a 3'' susp lift and the inside length of the u bolts are 11.75 the width is 3'' and i think the diameter are the bolts are 1/2''
Does that sound right? Has anyone else had this problem??
So really I need help with getting the right dimensions and maybe a link to a specialty truck site or something.. Thanks!!


Found a site called the king of leaf springs...Has all the dimensions I need an the bolts are about 10 bucks a piece!!
Its actually called TheSuspensionKing.com

I found a suspension shop that will make them for me on the spot I just have to wait till monday until I can get up there.
It's better than waiting for them to come in the mail and I know that they will be exactly what I need that way....I'm learning a lot about the suspension on these rangers though so this is a really good learning experience

You need to find a shop that sells leaf springs. They can make you custom U-bolts.
 
Well, standard 4 1/2" long ones run about $3.50 each. What you want is custom so $10 is probably what a spring shop would charge if not more to make some.

Your in Florida. The lift block capital of the world. Should every parts store have excessively long U-bolts in stock at all times? :icon_rofl:
