I been looking around for U bolts for my Dana 44 rear axle (2 3/4") without much success. I could have some made up at a local spring shop, but they quoted me $100 for 4 u bolts! I looked around a bit and I found a very good price on some 2 7/8" axle U bolts at a local auto shop (i.e. they're 1/8" larger than ideal).
I refuse to pay $100 for about $10 worth of U bolts, but I've found a set of four 2 3/4" U bolts on line for about $35 delivered so worst case, I could go that way but I don't really want to wait for delivery.
I'm thinking the 1 7/8" U bolts will work just fine but I'm curious about other opinions. Thanks for any advice.
