Staying in FL in the big city found a spring shop that can make custom U bolts, I can get a pair for my truck for about $20.

Found this link by TX firefighter.

yours are messed up beyond recognition, tell the spring guy you need a pair of 5/8 thread, 24 inch long U-bolts for a 3 inch axle tube. He'll know what to do.

TXFIREFIGHTER-I dont doubt you, I just wanna double check

Thanks alot guys

I just measured the diameter of a stock u-bolt.
They measure .712"

5/8" = .625"
3/4" = .750"

U decide which size you want.

If Tx Firefighter posted it,... it will work!
