Default 10 bolt UBolts

What is the size of stock 10 bolt rear end U-bolts? Then is there any generic hardware/parts store that sells them that I could get locally?

Are you talking about the ones that hold the rear sway bar bracket? If so, I got mine at Home Depot. They are not as strong as the OE but have held my rear sway bar for 2 years now so...

Yes that is what I am talking about. Just trying to find the size now. I can't find my old ones at all.

Do you have a Vernier caliper to measure the axle tubes? I didn't measure mine 'cause I just matched the new (but longer) ones to my current ones. I can't think of what I even did with the originals, now that you mention it... Is there a tech section here that mentions the stock axle tube diameter? Try a search for that?

Thanks pewter. I couldn't put my finger on what to search. The outside diameter of the axle tube is 2.75" and im looking for anywhere from 4.5" - 4.75" length.

A U-Bolt with 2.750" ID will work perfect on the stock rear end.

I hope that helps,
Ryan

Looks like I might have to order online. Lowes and Home Depot had neither.

Yes I do. Should I try them? The only other place local I could think would be a 4x4 shop...
