Need Help with Longer U-Bolts + Camber Question

[jonathanh96]

I got the AAL lift kit, but unfortunately, I need a longer U-Bolt & I'm unable to find any. Does anyone know anywhere they sell them?

My measurements show:
3/8th Rod Diameter
3" Width
Roughly 9.5" Long (It's still installed on truck so I had a hard time measuring this)

I have maybe a half inch of thread on the top of the U-Bolt mounting plate.

Also, my lift kit contained Tapered Shims (just a steel block) do I still need a Caster/Camber kit?

I'm not 100% sure about the U-bolts, check out parts stores. I know Advance has some U-bolt kits, not sure if any will meet your needs.

As for a camber kit, you will probably still need one. The camber/caster kit is for adjusting the front end alignment. Those tapered shims are for adjusting your pinion angle on the rear axle so you don't get a drive-line vibration.

Do you have any local spring shops? I found a local shop when I needed them, give them your measurements and they bend a set for you. I've also bought them through an online spring shop, I believe it was SD Truck Springs, but I'd have to check on my big computer when I get a chance

I couldn't find any U bolts when I did my Ranger either, but called Napa and they had some made for me, wasn't too bad...
