U-Bolt Dimension's: YJ D30 and D35

[kilo69]

So I need to pick up some new axle u-bolts as I'm swapping out axles for my spares. Of course I didn't remember to measure the old ones so anyone know what I need for measurements so I can get these made up today?

I've found these numbers online but not sure I trust the internets

D30:
2 @ 2 3/4" 1/2" thick how long?

2 @ 3 1/4" 1/2" thick how long?

D35:
4 @ 2 3/4" 1/2" thick how long?

These look ok?

Those seem right. I did this a few years ago, and I'm sure I made a post about it but alas I suck at searching. The two larger ones in the front are to get over the shift housing, and axle housing, I believe. As for length, they are made about 5 miles too long, so You will need to cut them off anyways.

I'd measure mine but it wouldn't help

Well if I ended up with D60 and 14bolt sized then maybe I'd have to upgrade ;D

Just FYI I went with an 8 inch leg on the ubolts... they almost were too long.

In the future a 6 inch leg would be perfect unless you are running thicker than normal leaf packs.

Did you get them bent up? Or just buy them premade? Good to know you can get different lengths. I was always told they come in one size: too long.

Parts for Trucks made them. Used 1/2" X 20 " length bent to my ID's given
