Gulfstream Greg Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Also note that you buy them long and cut off the extra after your done. Here are some pics of the job http://toyotamotorhome.org/forums/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=1&do=view_album&album=207 The support system you see in m pics is not the recommended way to do things, sometimes you have to work with what you have.

Maineah Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 A spring shop can make you a u bolt probably cheaper then you can buy it at a parts store take them the one you cut off. Greg is right they will be long that is normal in order to pull the spring pack together just cut off the excess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwbitts Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Ya, I was going to have a shop make them. Do you know the length and width of the bolt? Or, I guess, the specs, how to order, so I can get em ordered before taking off during the project?? Thanks!

Maineah Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Measure the plate holes or the center of the existing u bolt that is enough to let them know the radius of the bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
