Re: New U bolts
I used flat washers and nylon lock nuts. That was what came with the new set of U-bolts on my lift when I bought it. Originally had flat washers and standard nuts.

Re: New U bolts
Nothing on the threads and they should have the tall ubolts nuts and flat washer or something better. Use appropriate torque and they will stretch and stay tight.

Re: New U bolts
Ny-locs not really necessary. If you use a standard u-bolt the threads should be rolled, the hi-nut will be a cut thread, grade 8 flat washer under the nut. Light oil on the threads and torqued properly and re-torqued after some miles.
