Jensen, that is a very strange set-up for a 4x4. The ones I have seen have a 4" block between the axle and spring in the rear. What front axle do you have? Is it open or closed knuckle?

Thanks. Bought them and they really were waay too long. I had them cut down and welded. Had them welded side by side and they fit snuggly and worked. Just ugly looking.

Hi all - wanted to check and see if someone has a part sheet for u bolts size on the fronts.

Also wanting to get some shackles for the read springs. Looks like a joker welded the bolts on and we’ll need to cut them off.

Would appreciate any help on identifying these parts.

Thx!

I bought ubolts and springs bolts/nuts from general springs kc. They had the HD and LD springs available and had all this stuff too. There were some front rear upper shackle bolts they didn’t have a measurement on so I went to NAPA and found some in their grade 8 bolt bins. I think they ended up being the same size as the front rear lower bolts.
