Gearing up to swap the bumpers and springs with Road Rhino front and rear bumper and v code and modded b code springs. I ordered the springs from Tousley Ford with new spring bolts and nuts and front u-bolts. My question is what size u bolts do we need for the rear modded b code springs and what bolt do we need to hold the spring together. If I have all the parts my mechanic will try and do them all in a day.
Thanks for all the help.

 

The Husky bolts from Rockauto work good and are cheaper than most. The 10.5 inch springs are for stock setup on f250/excursions

If you are doing the B mod AND taller blocks, get the13.5 inch . Measure carefully first.

Husky also makes a 12.5 inch version They come with the nuts

Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna order a set from a local spring shop 13"X 3 5/8". bumpers coming off friday and springs going on monday.

 

Check local spring shops too...a local guy here bent mine for me on the spot for about $11/$14 a bolt.

 

I had my 4 U bolts made up by a spring shop, just under 50.00 for all of them with nuts and washers and it took them 2 minutes to make!

 

thanks Guys that's the route I'm going with. My mechanic ordered them from a shop.

 

So with a 3 springs added to a B pack, and a stock block, would I need a 13" u bolt?

 

It has been a while and I dont remember what we ordered. It was easy enough to add it up and add an inch or so then trim the excess off.

 

If you want I can measure them tomorrow.

 

That would be awesome.

 

It has been snowing and haven't felt like crawling under the truck Will get to it as soon as it stops.

 

Anyone else confirm any of these numbers?

 

Ok I finally crawled under the beast in the parking garage and meadured the U-bolts in the rear with modded B-code springs 13 1/2" I think we ordered 14 1/2 and then cut them. This is what they look like. Hope this helps.

 

Not sure if anyone mentioned, but be sure to get the longer center bolt to account for the added leaves.
