14 bolt u-bolt bracket ?

[chevyin]

I have several sets of u-bolt spring brackets for 1 ton and am not sure what ones for the 14 bolt ff. I know I can order aftermarket, but was wanting to hang this afternoon. Anyone have A pic showing TIA

hummmm

could this be the ones and I need to drill out for the bolt onthe 8in lift spring

your plates go on the bottom ot the axle . not on the spring.

Sorry about the pic size

but I think you can see the bracket w/slider bar

I See

But i'm still confused Do i need another bracket for the spring?

 

[sweetk30]

the plate you have goes on the axle tube. then the square top ubolts go on the springs from the top. between the spring pack and the ubolts there is a little plate that helps center the ubolts. but this setup cind of sucks. best option is to do a ubolt flip kit. get round ubolts and new top plate better ground clearence.

one last ?

The ubolts that came w/skyjacker lift kit look to be to large. I dont have original bolts as i'm installing the lift at the same time as changing to the 14 ff and dana 60. What do you think from pic?

well thay are frigin huge. need to resize pics. but thay draw up a bit when you tighten them.

Now you know what it feels like from a bug's perspective.

ORD to the rescue

Thanks again i was being really stupid{happens all the time }. I found that steve has kit that includes new u-bolts. If the ones I have will work, well you can't have to many spare parts.
