Short er U-bolts?

[hondarider552]

Where could I find a set?Ive been looking around and can't find any in a 2.5" wide bend, or im just a retard...:rofl:
My 3/5 drop is nice but id like to remove another leaf out of each side on the rear, but I ran out of threads last time and had to use 1 washer on each bolt for it to have enough threads, which I don't wanna do again..

1/2 ton u-bolts or have a spring shop make you a set.

 

[ripmf666]

Do you have room to add threads.

 

[TheBac]

Some autoparts stores can bend you custom lengths....

 

[dmaxfireman]

or use a die and cut threads longer or just add washers...

x2. cutting threads would be the best, but you could cut some small lengths of heavy wall round pipe to use as spacers if you cant cut threads in them.

Doh, never though of that. Wonder if their as strong? Guess i'll find out. and I would rather buy new ones than to add threads to mine, last time I had to get the nuts off with a IR 1" impact... so Id rather replace them.

1/2 ton u bolts are shorter and smaller diameter. i am at work so i cannot meadure them but are smaller.

Ones from a 10 bolt wouldn't be big enough around for our axles would they ?

 

[dmaxfireman]

probably not going to fit but it does not hurt to measure and check.

Call Dunbar Spring 602.258.6901. They should be able to bend you up some. We use them for stuff the would gross 60k, so your truck shouldn't be a problem..

I cut off some schedule 80 pipes as spacers and then machined them in the lathe so they would sit flat. So far it's working well. But I can see where some shorter bolts would be nice, they do hang down a little even with just the overloads gone...

I would go to a spring shop and have them make some if it was me.

Our trucks use square U-bolts. As long as the springs are the same width, they'll fit.

I know some one posted this allready but most suspension shops build these to what ever size u need. Might not be the cheapest option but it is a a option.

2" lower, and 2" from my axle tubes>frame. Might notch it if it's too close.

Will do brandon, I'll give em a call monday. Might also go over to Cliff's welding over in Mesa since they have a lot of that stuff.

I had planned on doing this since my "added nuts" look kinda jacked up. Don't think it hangs any lower than the caltrac mount.

Thats what I get for not looking before I type.

take a good look at the ones you get made before you leave the place that makes them. I had a set made and mine didn't touch the top flat portion of the spring they sat up due to the bend where they bent mine.

 

[sparepartsracing]

how low do you think i can go with them? my bumpers are trimmed...and my fender wells are cut and can be cut more....and i like uzing the grinder:rofl:
