This one is for you suspension gurus

Well I got a really good deal on a Superlift 6" suspension lift for my truck and I didn't really see what all it was missing. Now I'm missing two pieces. Here's a picture of the two things that I'm missing: The problem is that I don't know what the things are so I can't order something if I don't know what it is? According to the parts list, they are either: front anti-sway bar drops or compression travel stop extensions... Which one is it? I thank all of you on FTE in advance. Also anyone know where I can get some U-bolts made for cheap?

im going to have to say they look like bump stop drop brackets "compression travel stop extensions. u dont really need them unless your going to be wheeling your truck hard. they stop your axles articulation from going to far and allowing your tiers not to dig into your wheel wells.

Those are spacers for the bumb stops. You can build your own or call up Superlift. (P/n 55-06-9660)

They can also supply you with the right U bolts.
Front U-Bolt 9/16X3X10.5 and 9/16X3X11.5 (P/n 11902 and 11942)
Rear U-Bolt 5/8X3-7/8X18.5 (P/n 11922)

They can verify the numbers but they should be right

Take some 1x3 tubing and cut it to 5" in length. Drill holes on one side that match up to you frame where the existing bumb stop fastner holes are. On the other side drill a hole in the center for the new bump stop. Also if you drill a hole opposite the hole for the bump stop that fits a socket it makes it easier to tighten.

Sometimes the picture isn't of your actual lift kit. They may only be needed for an 8" lift but are still pictured. Call Superlift and ask them. Like someone else said, you may not need them. I put new longer bump stops on my truck, my axle has still never hit them after about 75k.

Edub, this is where i've bought a few sets of u-bolts from. Awesome stuff and really low priced too.
