Title says it. I have the TSB and I'm ordering a Toytec 1.5" AAL and some axle shims (5 mph vibe...). Do I need longer U-Bolts?

Thanks!

I think it'd be a good idea. I'm running a 2'' aal in the rear and I kept my stock u bolts but have 0 threads showing (probably not a good thing haha). With the aal and shims I bet your u bolts will be close to being maxed out like mine.
