Default 12 bolt strange u-bolt size same as stock?

Going to go from 10 bolt to 12 bolt Strange and already have drag bar installed (I think UMI) and do I need new u-bolts or will the same ones work? If I need new ones what and where?

Thnaks!

I don't know about Strange but my Moser had 3" axle tubes and required different u bolts to mount my sway bar. You will probably have to get a sway bar mount kit from UMI for the bigger tubes. I think 10 bolts have 2.5"
tubes.

the Strange 12b axle tube will be slightly larger and will more than likely require a wider u-bolt. you could try the old muffler clamp setup like Moser has you do if you don't get a sway bar mount set installed at the factory.

The axle tubes of the stock rear versus the aftermarket Strange are going to be different.

You can do the muffler clamp style brackets but I am not particularly fond of them.

We do offer a weld on style bracket and a bolt on style bracket for your application. The weld on bracket would be part # SMK006 and can be found HERE

The bolt-on style brackets are not on the website but are part # SMK007.

I attached a picture of the bolt-on style brackets for you to look at.
