U bolts leaf spring rear
 
Im cleaning up and repainting my rear end and wanted to replace the u bolts. Its a leaf spring rear end so the bolts are squared off not rounded like the ones for a coil spring rear end. When I looked to order new ones from LMC the only ones they show are listed for 4WD ( mine is 2WD). Are the bolts the same? They seem like they would be but I wanted to make sure Thanks for any help.

I mis-read your original statement.
I'm not sure about the length of the 2wd vs 4wd u-bolts.
I thought I had a set that I could sell you,... but they have some rust issues on the threads,... and I only have three.

No they are not the same. i bought those from LMC and they are thicker than 2wd. i used my originals and had some made at my local spring shop.

I replaced mine, I think i got them at Napa or O'Rielly's one or the other and they are the squared off ones.
