    well, apparently on your third call to carquest you get someone who knows what they are doing. they have one of the size im using and can order more. that is if they arent too long. they are still ~$2.00 more than where i ordered them from and they dont know what grade they are. price is a wash once shipping is tacked on. ace bolt, the only place i could find them before wanted $45 ea for custom u-bolts.

    okay, where would be the best place to find the ubolts for my front D60? Were the places being listed above just for the rear u-bolts, or would they have what I need for the front as well? Anyone know what sizes I will need? I'll need 2 different sizes, one for by the diff, and a different for the driverside perch. I just checked with BTF, and they wanted 60 bucks for the things, plus 20 dollars for shipping

    tube diameter? I need 3.5. They had some longer stuff, but none had the axle tube diameter I needed. I'll still go check back there next week

    finally got my rear u-bolts from gooseneck. They tried to tell me they didn't have the ones I needed, so I argued with them for nearly 20 minutes before one of them finally found them.
