Will I have to put new u-bolts in when I put my 2inch blocks in? Do the stock u-bolts have enough thread on them? THANKS!!!

Even if they fit, the ease of installation with new ones really beats the old ones all to heck. Plus you can flip them at the same time.

yes they are. When you flip, you have to weld on new shock tabs.

You will definitely need new ones IF you are running stock ubolts currently.

I would also buy a AAA membership so you can get free towing when those blocks come flying out of there.
