Anyone have a spare set of U-bolts or know where to get some. Putting 2" blocks on front and rear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but putting blocks on the front is a big no no. The rear is ok though.

From all I have ever heard or read, this is 100% correct.

OK, let me rephrase - looking for a set of front and rear U bolts that are 2" longer than stock.

In my area, you can get these from the auto parts store such as NAPA.

If your going to add a block in the front make sure it's solid and the block is attached to the spring by a longer center pin.

This is no different than a old school Trail master traction lift or Zero rate.

Your u bolts can be bought from many offroad shops or spring shop, make sure you use the tall nuts and thick washers.

Thanks
