What size ubolts do I need? Plates, anything else
 
I'll be swapping for 3/4 ton axles (from 10 and 12 bolt) to d44 and 14b. I dont have ubolts for the new axles and dont know what size I need them. Anybody know what size I need? Also do part stores carry spring plates. I'll be adding a 4" block in the rear also. Thanks for any help

Edit: I dont have the axles yet otherwise I would just measure myself. Thanks

Get the hardware from the 3/4 ton truck your getting the axles from. Even if the u bolts are torched, they would be close to what u need. Then you could take them to the spring shop and get them made. (plus the height of your block). You can get the spring plates there too if you dont have them. Parts store dosent sell spring plates.

I'm buying the axles from a guy who parted a truck a few months ago. Everything else is gone.
