U-Bolts Question

I plan on installing a 1” block along with my AAL...yeah yeah I know...it’s a street queen keep that in mind lol. Well anyways, is 10” long enough for my set up?

 

Stock is 6.5" long, so add an inch for AAL and another inch for the block gets you to 8.5", so seems like those should work and you can trim them if they're excessively long.

 

Thanks man!!

Think I need to need to extend my brake lines or should I be ok as long as I’m not flexing?

 

No sure about the brake lines, but DaveinDenver is correct.

When I went from a 2" blocks to Dakars the 10" were too long, the stock were too short.

For Dakars I need 8.75" Am placing the order soon.

 

I have a couple sets of new blocks and u-bolts in the 2nd gen for sale section, I would separate the blocks from the u-bolts so feel free to make an offer if you're interested.

With standard Dakar CS047R springs my brakes lines were too short for my comfort but YMMV. I have to think you'll be pushing the limit for them.

 

Just to clarify, U-bolts are universal for the most part right? One of my buddies has a set that’s 10” long.

 

They need to fit over 2.5 inch leaf springs but yes universal fit for the most part.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

You buy u-bolts based on the inside width (the 2.5" @rnish mentions for our trucks), the rod diameter (1/2" or 13mm I think is OEM) and the length (the stock 6.5", etc). If you're in doubt buy something longer. It'll maybe stick down more or you can cut them right. But don't go crazy and buy really long ones because you notice they don't thread the whole thing and you can run out of threads before you get the nut tight. The 10" you're looking at pretty much right where you'd want to be if you don't know exactly what you need. It'll probably be 8.5" or 9" give or take, but if you buy 9" Murphy's law is you'll need 9-1/16" long.
