    what have you used for the U bolts ? Are the TSB leaf pack U bolts longer than stock ?

    Getting ready to put the TSB springs under my truck but need to get new U bolts still.

    Tried searching but couldnt really find a clear answer :confused:

    Stock U bolts should be fine

    I did an AAL and re used mine, there is more than enough meat on them.
    If your worried, order some U bolt flips and call it a day

    Or get a flip kit and have new super long u-bolts, and cut em down.

    I would just get the diameter and buy some that are a little longer. I have not put a wrench on one but they looked like 1/2" to me. Of course I would not do that if it were me unless the ones on the truck are corroded or rusted. I just put springs on my boat trailer for the fourth time including the originals and have never replaced the u-bolts. Boat trailer does not ge near the use the truck does but it gets some abuse because of the lack of suspension and getting dunked in the lake.

    Stock U-Bolts are fine for me with the TSB Pack plus the Toytec 1.5'' AAL.
