2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Ram 3500 U bolts

[MBanning]

I need a set of 16" long rear axle U bolts from a 4x4 3500 truck. I need a part number or a VIN number from a truck that came with these so I can order them. Cab and Chassis bolts are too large in diameter, regular 3500 truck only please. Any second generation year should be fine. I am lifting the rear of a 2500 truck 1" and need longer bolts.

Thanks for your help,MBanning

I know alot of people who go and have bolts made in this type of situation. I have no idea what the price would be from Dodge or from another parts house, but I'd be willing to bet you could have a set made for less and then they would be exactly what you needed.

Just my $. 02

Thanks WC but I would like to stick with Dodge parts. Anyone else? I know there are 3500 trucks with 16" long bolts, grab a tape measure and help me out if you can.

Thanks,MBanning

I just did u-bolts on my '06 2500 and went to a heavy truck repair place. They took straight rod, threaded on both ends, placed it in a hydraulic bender and bent to the correct radius. Since stock rods were metric, he went to next larger size in standard ( I think 9/16). 4 u-bolts, 4 centering bolts, and all washers and nuts were around $30

Ten days and no one has a 4x4 3500 with 16" bolts?

I got some grade 8 u-bolts from this company a few years ago:

As mentioned above, go to a driveline shop. They will make you some for a minimal cost, I wouldn't sweat the fact that they're not OEM Dodge bolts. These places do drivelines and suspension parts for Semi's, I'm sure they're capable of making some that'll work for your 3500.
