Default Extruded U Nut - Rear Shocks - 2002 GMC Jimmy SLS 4 Door

Am finally getting around to installing new shocks on 2002 GMC Jimmy SLS (four door, 4WD).

I am doing all four wheels. Decided to go with Rancho 5xxxx Series (cost and have used them before)

While talking with my friend who is going to help with the install, he mentioned to get four (two per side) extruded U nuts for the rear shocks.

He can't recall the size (bolt) or thread pattern and my local parts shop asked if I could locate a part number and/or thread/bolt size.

Anyone got a part number or thread / bolt size?

Picture of what buddy sent me and I need.

Assuming that you're also using new bolts, the exact size and thread pitch isn't critical. Either 8mm or 5/16 should be fine. Just get 1" long bolts to match.

Make sure the u-nuts will clip onto 1/8" thick metal.
