Re: U bolts
i second calling or emailing skyjacker. Or just measure go buy a few bolts with the rough measurements from the hardware store. When you find the one that fits return the ones that dont and buy more of the ones that do work...

Re: U bolts
If I recall, the ones that came with my skyjacker kit didn't even fit my 14 bolt. I wound up having them made at a local spring shop (Superior Spring in Cheshire MA).

They even have measurements you can use as varification. Great products!

Re: U bolts
No worries, I got a set of bolts from them before the holidays and they worked out perfect, on the 14FF.
hahaha gotta love part houses, too many time I walk out empty handed. If I can get it online I do...

Re: U bolts
I took an old one to the local spring shop and told the to add four inches for my lift blocks and they bent them as I waited. I even watched them bend the new bolts. About 16.00 a piece with washers and nuts.
