Instead of putting the washers on the bottom, could you add a plate to the top with a hole in it for the leaf retainer bolt? That would also pick up the bottom of the u-bolts. Several years ago, I saw a mini truck that drug the u-bolts and shifted the axle back far enough that it could not be driven.
Short er U-bolts?

Brian, just hit up 4wheeler parts and supply or Fly n Hi or dunbar. they are all at your back door in mesa. I got a bunch of u-bolts for our trucks but they are for lifted trucks lol
Cool! thanks man! I'll go there after I get off work tomorrow. Literally 5ish miles from my 2nd job. :thumb:
Sorry for detail... but doe having negative angles on your cv angles the stress them as if you had cranked them ???
I would assume so, yes, but in my case, as soon as I launch, the truck lifts up and my cv's are flat.
Ended up going to the dealer and getting half ton Ubolts, their quite a few inches shorter than 3/4 ton ones and work quite well right now, but I havent driven the truck yet so we'll see.
thanks for your guys help :thumb:
Im only running 2 springs on each side right now as well.

I meant to post back after I found mine off my old 1/2 ton. Thing is the 1/2 ton's are about an M12 where as the HD ones are about 2 sizes bigger, Thoughts on strength ?
True, they are smaller, and only 90ft lbs instead of 110, but we'll see I guess. my boss' race truck is a little 1500 that runs low 12's with no traction bars and Ubolts are fine, but he has half the TQ we do 
time will tell.

My thoughts exactly, as long as the time isn't during a sled pull or a race
Na, no more racing and sled pulls are once every 3 years here on a POS sled that my truck could yank 300 feet on street tires. :rofl:
