U-Bolts

I ordered 5" Blocks for my truck expecting it to come with the required U-bolts, and it didn't. So now the back of my truck is sagging What size U-Bolt are you guys using that have the 5" Fabtech Block?

you can find a spring shop locally and tell them the length block you are using. they can bend them and tap them right there for you. not hard at all. at is pretty inexpensive, usually 40-45$.

I'm assuming you have a lift on already. If you do you can use the U-bolts on there from the lift with the 5" block thats what I did. Or do what nooq said and go to your local 4x4 shop and they can get you some.

Yes I already have the lift on my truck. I have a 2wd so the lift came with 2" blocks. You think those U-Bolts will work? I will have to try it I guess. If not I will do what nooq said. Thanks guys.

Look at how much thread you have left with your current u-bolt.

You should need close to 3'' to fit your 5'' block.
