U-bolt size

Ive got a dumb question I can't seem to find an answer for. I just bought a 2.5" rear block from a local guy and he didn't have the ubolts for the blocks but I can't seem to find what size my bolts are. If anyone knows what size they are that would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to throw this on right away but need to get some bolts. Thanks in advance guys

I assume your truck is 2wd otherwise your not gaining anything. If thats the case you could order a set that are made for a 4x4 OR get an aftermarket set and cut off the excess, as most of them are for universal for a range.

nope 4x4 fx4. so your saying i could go order some procomp ones or any other brand ect. and they should work?

and how wont i gain anything? the block in the rear of the fx4's is 1.5" isnt it? so id gain an inch in the rear. the front of my truck sits pretty high over the rear now. i got a 3" leveling kit up front so id figure this would straighten it out.

thanks

I think that the fx4 blocks are close to 2 inches stock. Like 1 5/8s or something like that. Not sure but I think all you will gain is close to about ~.5 give or take a lil. Which means you still might want to try it maybe with stock ubolts?? If they are still long enough I dunno, but might work i dunno, you could gain .5 and sit pretty level maybe.

I know guys usually get a 3 inch block to add height to the rear of fx4's after a front leveling kit.. so yea your shy a little.

hmmm well thats not as much as i thought, if its just half an inch ill leave it stock and try selling the blocks maybe or just put them on with stock ubolts.
