Rear Leaf Spring U-Bolt Replacement

[MSGia]

Good morning all, I needed some help finding a replacement for the U-Bolts on my truck. Are there any recommendations for a good replacement online? I just need them to be a little bit longer, just not sure how the measurements/dimensions work for U-Bolts. If it is important, I have a 2010 2WD Ranger.

how much is a little bit?
4wd Ubolts are 2" longer because of the blocks, maybe only 1-1/2" for 2010/2011 ???

important note: 2010 and 2011 Rangers have axles that are larger in diameter than 2009 and earlier.
that means 2009 and earlier regular Ranger Ubolts will not fit your 2010.

Thanks for the response. My truck is lowered and I plan on adding a 1.0” lowering block, and I don’t know if my stock U bolts are long enough for that. I just don’t know where to look for replacements. Thanks for the important note, didn’t know that.

You might check with companies that sell lift kits and lowering kits. They might sell U-bolts separately. You can also go to a local spring shop that works on big trucks. They will bend almost any size u-bolt you need. Just give them the dimensions.

i've found that the "rough country" branded u-bolts available on amazon are the best bang for the buck.
