    Hey y’all, wondering what the size of the leaf spring bolts is that I should be using? I just wrecked my truck yesterday and I’m buying everything I need at the moment to fix it. Here’s some pictures. :/

    The truck looks stock, so the part #’s @Kwikvette posted should work.
    Unless you have a rear lift that uses lift blocks? Then you might need longer u-bolts.

    He didn't mention u-bolts, but you are correct in suggesting new ones.

    U-bolts should not be reused.

    Yeah, TBH I just assumed that was what he was asking about since the axle is pushed back.
    It’s hard to tell from the pictures? But did the leaf springs come off the frame mounts?
    Or did the u-bolts give out?

    I didn’t even check your part #’s. I’ve seen enough of your post to know you are good on your info.

    I just ordered 2 leaf packs from general spring, as well as 9 inch or so ubolts because i have a rear lift.

    I can't imagine General spring having a leaf pack that requires more than 7.5" long u-bolts.

    Yeah true.

    Did you see how Miguel left Tyler's u-bolts?

    I don’t know who Tyler is, and haven’t seen his bolts.
    But if I were to guess? There’s 6” of bolt sticking down past the axle.
    I don’t know why guys do this?
