    I'm getting replacement Alcan Leaf springs for my 99 Tacoms TRD. They were also going to custom build new U Bolts for the spring but need these 5 things

    To bend your u-bolts we need to know five things:

    A. diameter of the bolt measured at the thread
    B. distance from inside of one leg to inside of the opposite leg, measured close to the top away from the open end.
    C. distance from inside middle of the top to the end of the legs
    D. shape of the top (round, square, semi-round)
    E. thickness of the current spring pack, measured close to the center bolt

    Take a tape measure that's what I did not really hard. After all that they still made them wrong they made them short, I got lucky the installer had 2016 tacoma u-bolts that were long enough.
