Leaf Spring U bolts

Post by stealthstylz »

Where have the people who've lowered their car using lowering blocks got new U bolts from?

Nah they're not U-Bolts, you'll just need longer bolts dependant on the depth of the lowering block

Afaik M8. Don't use normal bolts if you can help it. use high tensile steel bolts, at least 8.8 but preferably 10.9, you don't want anything snapping on you ;)
