Fliping U bolts - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I have a Samurai but it has YJ springs under the axles and I am trying to put square U bolts under them with a piece that I don't know the name of but it would go on top of the axle and the U bolts would go through it with the nuts on top. My question is do I need or is it just a good idea to have a piece of metal to hold the U part of the U bolts from moving around on the bottom of the springs.

you should have something there to protect the center pin at least. I made my own flip kit while back

unfortunalty these are teh only two pics I still have

you can buy the kit for like $120 or something, these cost me less than $10 in materials
