Looking for original rear U-clamps for 72 Blazer. Need all 4 of them with bolts.
Im lowering back to original lift, but need the clamps. Thanks, Luis.

anyone.

Luis, contact any heavy truck spring shop. They either stock or can make up "U" bolts just like the originals for el-cheapo. I bought mine for less then you could ship them for, each with the washers and nuts. Most originals are metal fatigued, rusted or warn where they mount and are best thrown away.

Thanks for the info Huck. Ill problably look for a spring shop here in Vegas. Maybe its better to get them remake afterall. Never thought of that idea.

Luis, u looking for u-clamps for a leaf setup? Or are you looking for original u-"bolts" for a trailing arm setup? If it's the latter, I have some originals. I'm assuming since you've got a 72 blazer that you probably have leafs. But then again you know what they say about people that assume.

Good point, the ones I linked to were for coil springs.

Luis_gz06 · 07-09-2006, 08:25 AM

I no longer need the u-bolts. Got them already. Thanks you all anyway, Luis.
