A auto/truck spring shop can make them or should have them on the shelf.

Re: U-bolts

pick the closest autoparts store to where you live//with the price of gas the less you travel the cheaper it is

Re: U-bolts

Are we talking rear end u-bolts or the a-arm little u-bolts here. I tried finding soome factory rear end u-bolts about a month ago and the local fab shop wanted $55.00 for two of them. NO ONE ELSE HAD THEM locally anyway. ECE has them for $25.00 a peice.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: U-bolts

try a big rig parts shop. usually make them up as you wait. got 2 u-bolts, grade 8 nuts and washers for a bit over 20 bucks......

if they're strong enough for a Kenworth, then they will be fine on my 1/2 ton.
