U can use the stock u bolts jus put a piece of 5/8 plate 8"long with a hole in it where the overload spring supposed to be and vuala!!!!

my truck u-bolts were square at the ends to fit around the leaf spring. not sure if they are all like that, but you could not use the stock bolts with a flip kit on my truck.
