U-bolts

Anyone know a good source for u-bolts? I'm in need longer ones. Got a decent price from ATS at 63.00 for front and rear, then they tried to put it on me with $40.00 s&h.

They do have U bolts in their catalog that are 1/2" at a great price. I'm not sure, but it seems that application is for setups with leafs were you have 2 U-bolts on each side and trailing arm trucks only use one U-bolt on each side......so is the truck U-bolts a little bigger in diameter than 1/2"?

Anybody got a loose one the could measure?

Re: U-bolts

Spring shops on bigger cities will be able to make them right on the spot, usually with good hardened nuts and washers.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
