Subject: u bolts for rear axle. help.
IP: Logged

Message:
I tried again to lower the rear of my dak 2 inches and was yet again unsuccessfel. my question for ya'll that use blocks and ubolts is do you use the ubolts that are kinda squared at the end or the rounded ones? I have the rounded ones and they will not stretch over the axle.

really want to level my dak, I have tried 3 times and can't get it to work with the u-bolts in my kit(rounded ones) are the square ones as strong because they should fit.

I have a 2000 Durango I lowered and the ubolts didn't fit on mine either, so I went to NAPA auto parts and bought some "bigger" bolts. take the ones in the kit with u and tell the guy that it needs to be a tad wider to go over the axle. Hope this helps!

I do have the 3 5/8 rear end. the square ones look like they will fit. I'll try napa an see if they have a large enough kit.
