u-bolts
Morning all...trying to find some longer u-bolts for my 72 short wide...i know cpp makes them, but at the moment my wifey will not let me spend anymore money on my truck, so I'm trying to use square stock and longer u-bolts to lower the rear two more inches...
ANY HELP!!! |

Re: u-bolts
I try and find a spring shop here in my town, not sure if we have one...we do have a big truck service center, do you think they would work?

Re: u-bolts
I went to a spring shop. Less than 5 minutes to make them and I think it was $12 a piece.

Re: u-bolts
local autoparts stores have all sorts of ubolts// just look for an older guy that knows how to open a book and read the specs
