Your local spring maker shop should be able to custom-bend them to your specs. The one I usually go to (Salt Lake City, UT) is called AAA Spring. They cater more to heavy-duty and commercial trucks, that might help you locate a similar shop local to you.

I get mine from a truck parts place. It is kinda like an overgrown napa, but they custom build them. If you prefer to do it online, I think MORE sells them now.

no no no, all you have to do is steel some off a later model ford van with a nine inch in the back, if it is for a front use the nine inch ones and buy a rancho u-bolt for around the pig cool? hope that helps jimmy

That's the one I snapped and could'nt find a new replacement anywhere, the local NAPA didn't even have a listing for it. Found a used one off a wreck.

I had that one made too.
The rest were from Napa. I have a part number, but it is late. Sorry.lol They are 5/8in. Putzboy and I went to the Napa in Auburn and they didn't have a listing tho. YOu just have to go to the right napa. They are better than kragens...but at times I wonder how much...

just about any spring making place has a u-bolt bender and they can make them for you.

Like other people have said. Try your local spring maker. Got my different sizes I needed made in about 10 minutes and I was on my way.

I'd agree check out the local BIG Rig garage, at the place near me they do just about all their own stuff and have a neat machine to bend up u-bolts with what ever dimensions you want <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

lol lol lol lol You are too funny Brimy. hahahaha

The part number you are looking for is 650-4044 from Napa. The dimensions are 3in wide by 7 1/2 long by 5/8in thick. check you rtubs size again. These may not work for you.

Good luck.
