neat trick for pesky u-bolts

[MaxPF]

BTW, I brain-farted on the bolt size. Those bolts holding my axle in are 5/8", not 9/16".

freaks me out too...if I saw this on a heavy truck/semi/rv I would be pissed

being that I use to be around a sping and u-bolt manufacture and service center, I can say it would have pics taken and hung on the wall if they saw something like this.

i dont see anything wrong w/ it... all pro sells this kit and i dont think anyone has had any probs...

3.5" u-bolts work fine... at least that what the spring shops around here make & use.

I re-use Ford u-bolts because they have nice flanged nuts and coarse threads that don't f-up from repeated re-use.
