Default Stock U-Bolts and Blocks?

Is there a stock GM U-bolt that is long enough to be used with a 1'' lift block? I wasn't sure if a Z71 or 3/4 ton u-bolt would be any different.

Yes the 3/4 bolts are shorter then the 2500 up trucks.. Not sure how much bigger but, they do list them differently..

Why not grab some grade 8 u bolts from the parts store? I see you asked for a GM one specifically.

The only reason I asked was that I have a brand new set of Superlift U-Bolts and they are about 13'' long, Stocks are about 9'' Just didn't want to have to have a set that were too long. just wondered if there was a GM # that would be long enough.

Cut em and clean up the ends on the grinder if you have one available to you.

Use a portable band saw. Much cleaner cut.
