Rear axle U-bolt part #
I am FINALLY getting around to installing my RAS on my stock 05 Excursion. I ordered replacement ubolts and received them as part number f81Z-5705-BB. Trouble is, they are about 2" longer than the stock ubolts. Did I get the wrong ubolts? Will these work? I am concerned that the exta bolt length will hit something up top.

Hey tinkerer,
Although I haven't actually done this, I "think" you should put the
nuts on FIRST then cut off the bolts to length. Then back-off the nuts
to clean up the threads. If you cut the bolts first, it's sometimes
tough to start the nuts.

Install first to make sure you know the correct length to cut off.
