Well, I have already ordered the 5/8 set. I will try to change the order. Thx.
P.S. The order of the 5/8 U bolts has already shipped. Hopefully I can make them work. If the inside distance from thread to thread is what I specified when I ordered them, then they should slip right over the diff. tubes. We'll see. Getting in the plate holes is another matter.
It can be a little bit of work. I put 5/8" ubolts on my bronco. Used some adjustable vise grip clamps to get them (the ubolts) closed just the correct amount to fit the top plate.
