Question U-bolt problem......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ordered new u-bolts for my rear axle due to me adding some leaf springs.
I measured 3 1/4 from inside to inside from the old ones and ordered these online. Got them today and on the package it said 3 1/4... I was like good. Went to see how they fit and measured them and well...... What do you know, they are too big. They measure 3 1/2.
So they fit on the axle but there is a little play on each side about a 1/8, they fit pretty good I think.

Will they still work...when I tighten them dowm I dont think they are going to go any where.... right? Or will it be a problem having them be a little too big and lead to axle warp?

Thanks very much, Josh
