Try your local salvage yard or your local hardware store, like Home Depot or Ace Hardware. As far as what to pay... if they have it and you need it, well, it's kind of up to them.

Re: what kinda stores/shops can i find 24" u bolts???
Any chassis shop that deals with lift kits and such. Also tractor supply places they have em all sizes they would be most reasonable I think. Gotta have a tractor supply place in Tn.

Re: what kinda stores/shops can i find 24" u bolts???
I'm not real sure what you have around you, but in addition to what everyone else has said, I would check out: Carquest, Napa, brake shops, suspension and alignment shops. If not, check with some mechanics in your area to see where they get theirs from. If you have a little time, there's many places on the web that can make you custom u-bolts and also carry common sizes, that is if you can wait for shipping.

Re: what kinda stores/shops can i find 24" u bolts???
Why can't I picture a safe, practical, or needed use for 24" (2 foot) U-bolts?
What's the diameter of the bolt? Maybe I' just don't know about drops? |

I'm hoping he means 24 inches from one end of the wire to the other end with a bend in the middle.
I buy all my u-bolts at a spring shop. They are in the phone book under trucks repair.

Around here the welding shops can make just about any u-bolt you need.
