Sounds like they have pretty good customer service but on the off chance they dont send new u bolts, I have been thoroughly pleased with my experience with ATS Springs. Ive now bought my rear axle and front axle u bolts from them. Shipping is quick and its hard to beat their prices. Plus if you ever have questions their Customer Service is top notch and not some random call center in India. You actually talk to the guys in PA and they are very knowledgeable.
Just thought I'd throw their name out there because I just bought the front u bolts yesterday so it was fresh on my mind lol.
Thanks for the alternative source just in case it doesn't work out with Hellwig.
After contacting Hellwig, they told me that they didn't have any longer U-bolts "ready to go", so they fabricated some. The replacement U-bolts weren't plated as the originals, so I painted them with aluminum paint. Hellwig also sent four more locking nuts. All fit well and should now be completed.
Thanks to all the forum members who helped.
