So after installing rockstomper's u-bolt flip kit i realize my shocks bottom out near the limits of the suspension. this is no good, because my truck needs to be able to haul some heavy loads. i've got to revert back to the stock config and need new u-bolts. after some searching, ive found that ome makes a set, supposedly for my truck in a stock/near stock configuration. the part number is OMEU53B and basically im asking if anyone knows wether these bolts are drop-in stock replacements, no mods necessary. OME makes good shocks, this much i know.

do the ome u-bolts for a 92 truck replace stock/have the same dimensions as the oem setup?

thanks for all help ahead of time

A few ideas:

Add or raise the bumpstops to prevent the shocks from bottoming out.

Get some slightly shorter shocks.

Measure the size u-bolts you need

I run Rancho u-bolts on my truck, they make many sizes:

I also run Rancho u-bolts. Sorry, I don't have the part number handy, though. But they are not too expensive and seem like decent parts. I use them on Northwest Offroad springs and the length is just about perfect and I don't get a ton of threads below the bolts. I don't even need to trim them, since they don't hang below the plate. On stock springs I'd think they'd be OK, maybe just a little long (the NWOR springs are an extra leaf thicker). They torque nicely and have held their torque well. It only takes 2 rounds of tightening. First to about 75% of the final setting, let the bolts settle and hit them to the final torque.
