Adding a lift - U-bolt question

Will these fit on my '56 with the dana 44?

Thanks!

 

If you still have the tapered axle offset housing then no. Your tube diameter is 2 1/2". Those are for the flanged axles which have a tube diameter of 2 3/4". Sorry to be the bearer of bad news . If you know the length you need there are all kinds of vendors that can supply them and most spring shops can make them for you. Nickmil.

 

This is what they told me I needed, but it didn't include my year. I thought I'd ask first. I'll call Krage, they'll have what I need.

Thanks!

 

The folks at Krage helped me out. Got the correct U-bolts coming and new hood catches for less $ than the u-bolt kit from 4wd.

I will order shocks after the springs are on so I can get post to post measurements. I thought that was a good idea when it was suggested.

I will re-use the busings that are in the springs now, until I can find a Pro Comp dealer with them. They are in reasonable shape and 4wd hdwe said they couldn't get them. New bolts for the shackles and I should be lifted sometime this weekend

 

Dennis I bought my U-bolts at a local flaps for $17 for both rear sets. Cad plated grade 8's, they were a perfect fit. Got my fronts there also. Those kind of parts are to easy and cheap to order from 4wd or Krage in my opinion, and then you get what actually fits. One tool that every person that works on an old Jeep should have is a decent pair of dial calipers to measure stuff that a tape measure is to crude for, kinda like the tube diameter of an axle.

 

Now he tells us It was my U-joints that made it so I have a guy at NAPA since I was in and out of the place at least 6 times in one day trying to get it right.

 

Odd they used to carry them. :?

 

I questioned it when I was talking to the guy. Says right on the website they carry pro comp. Oh Well...
