U-Bolt size
Got a set of Pro-Comp add a leaf short leafs yesterday. I plan to install them however i read tht i should just cut the old u bolts off and get new ones. What size should i be looking for with the added hight? will a 9'' long x 3'' wide work?
|
With just add aleafs the stock size should work
|
im lucky enough to have a few spring places very close by that make u bolts. so i would just put the leafs in and see if the old ones are of proper length then just bring the cut old u-bolts up to the place and say i need these

youre really NOT supposed to use them but i have also in the past, i remember going to re use a set i took off because i just had to move the truck out of the shop and the threads ripped off when i went to tighten them. but if you got a shop very close by they really arent that expensive |

that gets iffy. sometimes you literally cant reuse them, they either wont come off or they will rip up the threads when you back the nuts off.
