ubolt size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need a verification on ubolt size for H052 axle.

I'm measuring 3.30" diameter. (I've found some of these made by Rancho.)

I've some 3.375" (3 3/8" ) in my possession.... can I use these? Or, does the tolerance need to be exact. I've plates that would fit 3 3/8... probably fit the 3.30" also.

Also, can someone verify the 4th Ubolt on the passenger side of a D60 needs to be 4". The other 2 I have are 3 1/8" for the driver side.

Thanks

That is preety close, you could prolly get away with them working, just make sure you keep um torqued and re-check the toruque after a bit

I'd definitely use the ones you have, when you torque them down it will tighten them around the axle tube just fine.
