Removing stock blocks
When removing stock rear blocks on a '12 silverado, do you have to get aftermarket U bolts or will the stock ones work?
I didn't know if the threads would reach once they were removed.

mine didnt seem to tighten up all the way. But i cant remember what i ended up doing to fix it. I put a flip ki on since then. I think Skipperdaddy bought shorter u-bolts for his.

I just put some extra washers between the nut and the lower u bolt plate when I removed my blocks. I wanted to MAKE SURE I had enough thread. I will eventually put the factory NBS 2wd u bolts on. That is the 15002781 part number.

x2 on adding washers, thats all i did i think i used 4 or 5 per stud iirc. box of washers is cheaper then new bolts, unless yourdead set on factory appearence.
