spring clamps

has anybody found a chain parts store that can get coil spring retainers for the rear and u-bolts I hate paying shipping if I don't have to. Any help would be great, almost have my frame ready for the cab just ordered a 4/6 drop from ece and finished the rest of the front end.

Re: spring clamps

i haven't seen a local place for the coilspringcups but just about any autoparts store has ubolts all you need are the proper measurements //inside diameter of ubolt length of ubolt and the diameter of the rod the bolt is made of are the 3required measurements// also local spring shops will bend up custom ubolts for reasonable prices

Did you check with your local Chevy dealer? Sometimes it's surprising what they can get....

Re: spring clamps

i bought mine from the formerly know Chevy Duty (forget what they changed to) and they came with a GM part number(long gone at this point).

Your local dealer should be able to get them.
