longer u-bolts where do you find them?

I'm looking for another set of ubolts to hang my RC 2.5" springs on. The ubolts I got from Walcks aren't long enough only grabbing 1/3 of the threads in the nut.. They look like they need to be at least 8" with the spring packs. The ubolts that came with the springs are to big in diameter to fit in the holes from the stock spring plate.

The axle is 2.5" but not 100% sure what size the holes are on the spring plate. Any place you guys have used that could make some or if you know someplace in STL area that would be even better.

X 2, I had some made in Albuquerque, thew were about the same price as off the shelf at Pep Boys.

 

R&P stocks longer ubolts. They have them made locally.
Most u bolts will be larger. Iirc the stock ones were 7/16" and the aftermarkets are typically 1/2". You can grind/ file the holes out to fit easy enough.

Find a local spring shop to make them. My local shop makes 'em "while you wait".

 

I found mine at the local tractor supply.
