I'm going to be using 3" blocks, ranger leafs, and bellteck 6400 shackles for my suspension on my 7.5 axle. Right now I'm running stock 2.5" blocks. I've measured the extra thread and there wont be enough for the 3" blocks. I've searched this site and other places, but I can't seem to find a clear answer where to get the extended u bolts for a 7.5 axle? And what brands are good?:icon_confused:

I went to my local auto parts store and they were hanging on a wall in shrink wrap. Use a measuring tape to match for size.

Find a local suspension shop.

The shop I work at custom makes u-bolts for any application. I can bend u-bolts any size from 3/8" all the way up to 1" thick, with any dimension and bend.
