Anyone know the dimensions of a u-bolt?
I need to find some new U-Bolts for my axle swap...
Kind of hard to measure them when they're on the jeep... It's a stock '87 axle, with add-a-leaf's in the spring pack... any ideas? |

Man, I have em all written down at home. But then again I would need to know what axle your talking about.
Just head to any auto parts store, preferably a NAPA or better. Give them year make and model and they can index it real quick.

I did some basic measuring. The guy at one store wanted the inside distance between the threads...
The rear axle has 4 same size U-Bolts. The front axle, on my '93 axle uses two different size bolts on each side. One is about 3.25" wide, the other is 2.5" wide. And they're about 7" tall. The rears are 2.5 X 6.5" I think... But this may all be different on the '87 axles, I don't know. I'm going to give Napa a holler. |

I know I know, it's a sin to do it. But it's practically FREE!! I've got money coming in on the old axles, so I'm getting a gear "upgrade" for nothing...also get to dump the c-clip axle!!
It's not really an "upgrade", it's a swap, crap for crap!!! |

For the 30 the smaller one should have 2-1/2" between the bolts and the larger one should be 3-3/8". Don't have a clue about the 35. Do you still have your old u-bolts? They should be the same size so if you do take 'em with you to the parts store to compare the new ones against.
