The force and stress placed on stock components by off-roading is enormous. We have created many
products to meet the need of the off-roader, products that hold up under these stresses. Our extreme duty U-bolt kits are one of our latest.
We noticed the stock 1/2" U-bolts were pretty weak so we increased them to 5/8". Then we noticed that we were bending the stock U-bolt plates. So, we set out to build some that could take abuse. It may seem kind of simple to take a piece of thick metal and drill some holes. We have seen these types of plates. The problem is the edge of a plate like this causes a ridged pressure point and can cause the spring to break at that point. We invested in tooling that routers the edge of our plates. In doing so we are able to keep a stock type edge which compliments the spring when it's articulating. Every part in the kit is zinc plated for looks and corrosion protection.
These are a must have for trail runners and rock crawlers. Keep your rear axle and springs mounted solid!
