Any suggestions on where to get u-bolts for leaf springs or anything in certain to look for or stay away from. Thanks

Most of the time, I see people recommend going to a local spring shop and having them make a set.

I just had a local welding shop order me a set for my truck. I put a 8 inch lift on and the ubolts that came with the kit are about an inch to short. I tried Fleet Pride first and they said they couldn't make mine because I need 3 9/16 inside and they can only bend them in half inch increments. Hopefully they can take care of yours.

Hopefully I guess we'll see, my father in law said he thinks there a spring shop about 40 minutes to the south. Just have to figure out where.
Thanks guys

Typical you can just go to a larger semi garage or trailer sales place and get some. Since your buying new you oughta up grade to 3/4" U-Bolts.

May just leave it together and swap springs and the front end. Springs look to be in good shape with no sag.
