Rear U-bolts

I have an 06 F150 4x4 and just put on a 3" rear block kit. The install went well but I noticed the rear U-bolts supplied with the kit were a bit long. Has anyone else had this problem? How many sizes of u-bolts are there? Thanks in advance!!

Maybe they thought you were gonna stack it with the stock block? I just ordered 2.5'' blocks for my 2wd and the U-bolts look to long as well but will see when I put them on i guess!

I think thats pretty common, believe sets ship with ones that are somewhat universal. We have always just cut off the excess.

She probably did come back, read the responses and decided that she needed to cut the ubolts and her losses on this site and just did not respond.

So yeah there goes another one.

how so?

In all honesty, if i was to be a **** and force someone into the kitchen the last thing i'm going to have them make me is a sandwich. If i'm going to get into trouble, it's going to be over a steak, baked potato and a beer not a ham and cheese sandwich

then again, if a steak is going to be made i'll cook it myself for us. So all she has to do is make a baked potato which takes 30 seconds of planning so in reality i'm a sweetheart

were getting steaks???? dude I want one. where is this lady????

to answer her question:

yes they come with different lengths...

if you had enough thread to tighten the nuts down all the way your set, just cut off the rest once your done.


edited: forgot your yr model the u-bolts are upside down and hang down so if theyre longer theyll drag.....gay.
