2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission u-bolt upgrade needed

[DIESELWRKS]

anyone know of a good source for u-bolts need to go to 5/8 size. I just realized the ones that I have that came with my rcd lift are only 9/16

If your talking about something for leaf springs. find a local spring shop mine makes em right in shop and can make any diameter and length

I need to upgrade them I will likely be going with D poole's traction bars he makes and its a new saddle that goes under the axle to attach his bars I just need to stronger and longer u-bolts for this. I will check but with economy I dont know if I have a shop locally anymore. I found a couple places on line so far as well.

go to your local school bus company they will probably know the closest one

Check out Drive Train Industries. They are large company that has shops in New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. They will make them in Grade 8, to order. Please see; Drive Train Industries

Your local industrial area likely has a Ubolt maker.

I upgraded mine to 5/8", grade 8 from Michigan Truck

truckspring.com



They were approx $100 including shipping to Alaska.

Very good folks to work with, and they were fast!!!!!!!!

The best spring shop I have everr dealt with is the one that Enterprise Engine Performance uses out in Ohio. I got my new u-bolts from them when they redid my rear spings to lift the back of my truck. I went to 3/4" diameter and extra long to fit my traction bars also. If I remember correctly I had less than $100 in the longer and larger diameter U-bolts which we used from them. Here is their number and address..... Andy
