    I'm getting deavers delivered soon and want to know if stock length u-bolts work. I got a new, oem set for free. Hoping they work. If anyone has info to help me out I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    think the oem are 6.5 " and too short. Think you need 7.5" minimum. I have some I got from a member and never used? Cheap. Check our vendors for your setup and I think they will indicate what U-bolts are needed to match. GL.

    If you end up buying new u-bolts do a u-bolt flip with new bump stops while you are at it.

    I'm changing from a block lift to springs. New hangers and relocate bracket too. What's the benifit of a flip kit? I still may need 1" block. Better than 4" haha!
