I recieved these new U-Bolts today via UPS and was so impressed with the quality of them I figured I'd pass along the info. These are made by a company called Dayton, all Grade 8 hardware, Fine Threads, & extra deep hex head nuts. The best part about them are the additional threads, about double the amount of stock, which will allow me to run them up as high as I need them to secure a 1500series leaf pack. Cant do that using the stock U-Bolts, trust me there. Enjoy:

 

looks like a must have if you are doing a swap like you are... looks like some nice pieces man. how much did those run ya?

 

They do look pretty good. Theres a shop here called Inland Truck Parts that rolls out some dam nice u-bolts. When you put those on, be sure to put the lip on the nuts towards the washer. If you knew about that disregard my ramblings.

 

$18 each side

 

thank you, I did not know about the lip, whats the story?

 

what swap are you doing to need new u bolts? inform me. i have new u bolts but they are going with a traction setup.

 

new leafpack

 

Do 1500s bolt up to a 2500 and visa versa?
