8.25" U-bolt size

[troy]

Does anybody know off the top of their head what size I need. I'm putting in OME rear leafs this weekend.

Probably going to NAPA to get the U-bolts.

Thanks,

3" tubes

Yes...3" is correct, but don't get 'em at the auto parts store. Go to your local spring and axle shop. They made mine in 30 minutes to the length I wanted and they were much beefier (0.5" dia) with better hardware for less than $30 for all four. The only way to go!

The ones you buy at napa don't typically hold up to wheeling. I put some on 'temporary' and broke one jacking my jeep up by the body. Find an axle or truck shop, and get something made up in 1/2" or 5/8".
