So I’m in the process of gathering parts to correct the pinion angle due to previous owner lowering the truck. I’ve come up with a -2 degree difference for the diff and bought a 4 degree steel shim kit. My problem is the length of the U-bolts currently on the truck (10.25” long). The shim is just under 1/2” thick on the large side and the nuts on my U-bolts have just about the same left underneath. I need to find at a minimum 11.25” long U-bolts. If I’ve done my measuring correctly they are 1/2” thick diameter and ID is 3.5”. No auto parts stores I’ve been to (Advance Auto, Autozone, Parks Auto, Oreillys, and a few 4x4 places) have them on the shelf nor can they find anything in a book. Ebay has lots to choose from but not all the dimensions line up. Some even are described as (fits Dodge Ram) but shows an ID of either 2.5” or 3”.
Anyone know where I can source some U-bolts?
