Look for a hardware "kit" from the usual suspects first. I spent a lot of time rounding up part #s for the bolts, nuts, shackles and bushings &c. for my slick and then, ordering stuff from here, and there, etc. Then I come to find somebody had done all that stuff and offered everything.
The dickweed at the place I bought the springs from claimed the eyes didn't have bushings already installed so I ended up buying those un-necessarily. Just be careful is what I'm saying and shop around.

If you're having a hard time finding the u-bolts send me a message and we can get you the replacement ones with free shipping. We make all our u bolts here in house from straight rods.

That's right. Need the nuts also. Going to have to cut these off. None of them will turn.
Separately, also looking for front and rear drums. Hard time finding a good brand. Any recommendations?

Any decent truck repair shop can make U-Bolts on the spot while you wait, any length required for not too much money. Bring one in so they can compare, there are "square" and "half round" designs, they look similar but won't clamp right if the wrong kind is used. Check torque again after a few hundred miles, after they settle in.

Got it, thanks. Sent them an email with part numbers. Also asked them for brake hubs, front and rear. Thank you.
Side question - any idea what locking hubs I need? Bought my truck without them.
