I did think about an off road shop close to my work that I'm going to at lunch today, but I didn't think about a trailer supply. We have one of those as well close by. Thanks Jon

Alan,
Sorry to hear about your hold up on your build and I hope CPP makes it right for you. When I removed some leaf springs from the rear of my truck I coudn't find the right size u-bolts I needed till someone suggest this little shop in town. Check around and see if you guys might have someone like this. if not maybe these folks could help you out, here is a link to their web site. http://www.custom-springs.com/ I hope this helps you out. good luck. David

What a day. I tried to locate some U-bolts locally. I tried the following without any luck
1. Advance Auto
2. NAPA
3. Local trailer supply
4. Southern Offroad

Then I called Truckandcarshop.com they had them but would take a week to get them unless I wanted to pay thru the nose for shipping. Regular shipping was $11. Everyone that sells them sells them in a kit to do both sides. Ranging from $26-29, until I called LMC, they wanted $14.95 each. I didn't even ask about shipping.

As of right now I haven't gotten a reply to my email to CPP. I did call them and was told the u-bolts are still on back order. I think they just threw something in the mail to buy more time. They are sending a return authorization.

Then I thought if GM still offered the lower A arm bumpers they might carry these as well. Guess what they do. They are the 9/16. I'll have to open up the holes to accomendate. The cost is $6ea list. My cost is $4.50 and they will bring them to where I work. I should have them by this Friday

They had to order as well, but at least it is in their warehouse.

I didn't know something as small as this would cause so much frustration.

The speedo I won on ebay showed up today. It's awesome, and completely rebuilt.
