    Looking to remove my 2" blocks now that I have installed my shackles. Probably should've done it as part of the same job. Wondering if the U-Bolts will be warped when I remove them. Does anyone know a good source for replacement U-Bolts that I could potentially find locally other than a dealer?

    2"CB shackles, bushings and 1 shim, lockerdown console vault, rear folding seat back mod, snugtop shell with opening side windows, 46g fuel tank, SDHQ sliders and hidden winch, Decked Drawers, Alcan leaf springs and got rid of the interior chrome
    Warped or not, u-bolts should not be reused. They’re engineered to stretch at the thread. Any spring shop should be able to make you new u-bolts. They will need exact information: length, style (round or square), width of springs and diameter of bolt rod

    Anyone know the measurements for stock 2016? I think Tractor Supply has a bunch as well, just need to check their rating I guess?
