While we are on the subject of u-bolts, wher can one get them? Spring shop? Local parts stores cant get them. Local big rig shop makes u-bolts, but 5/8 is the smallest they do. I'm in a backwards retarded area when it comes to pickup trucks (though I see more common rail Dodges in Perryville than farther south, lol), so go easy on me, Pete.

Any food spring shop should make ubolts, at least the ones around here do. I get mine made at a local IH dealer, they make ubolts and haven't found a size they wont make.
If you have any companies that outfit dump trucks or log trucks, check there, they should be able to ubolts as well

Any spring shop I've ever been in makes them. Maybe the truck shop doesn't buy smaller than 5/8's stock because they don't sell enough of them to be worth it. Dan, I'm sorry you live in a retarded area, try not to drink the water and you may be ok. I kinda think it's too late though. :lol:
Try rock auto or e-bay. You should be able to get them on the 'net if you know what size you need.
