Need help!!!
 
So i finally got around to asking around shops about getting my rear leafs changed out so that it's more stock height. Turns out my rear leafs were put in wrong and the way it's sitting now can cause it to fail so i'm kinda in a rush to get this done as i dont need a failure from my leafs :S.

Any who was wondering if someone with STOCK 1 ton dually suspension could go out and measure their u bolts Tip to tip and center pin (rough guess the length) but i will not be running an over load leaf.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks your a life saver. i just dont want to pay them to take out leafs when my dad just built a new shop with heated floors to work in. So i figured this could be something i could do :) but they make the u bolts for you they arnt "Pre Fabbed"

I got 56" bolt to bolt. Granted, that is with the wheels on and sitting in a huge puddle of ice cold water! So plus or minus 1/2" isnt unreasonable, but that should get you close.
