As of now, these are the only ones I can find, too.
U-bolts are typically $12 ea, so the kit will come with 4. These are 9/16" u-bolts, so cost goes up there. There's 25% of what you're paying for.
Lower skids included, are engineered to slide over stuff and lock your u-bolts in place.
Here's the part number list, post up what you need and I can send you a quote. PM phone, e-mail, address and I'll get it quoted shipped to you.

Holy cow Mike ! Wish I could operate a computer. Its a 74 CJ-5 But I have 86 / 2" front springs. Its still spring under. Thinking of using the rear 2.5s in the front. Im moving the axle location forward so , I have to move the mounts. Quote me for the 2.5s please. I just ordered some .5" Plate cut to size to make my own , but this might be better.

Thank you Joe. I just ordered some .5" plate cut to size. Gonna give it a whack myself. With 9/16th U-bolts , It will be just about 80 Buks. FjR68

I wasnt far off in my guess . 20 buks for the .5" plate cut to size and shipped to the door. 46.00 buks for 9/16th U-bolts with nut and washers,grade 8. Measure twice or three times, grind out a relief for the U-bolts, drill 4 holes in the top plate. I had round rod in the shop so that was welded to the bottom of the top plates to lock it to the axle housing. They arent the dog bone shaped nice looking plates like you buy in the store, but Im never gonna break another U-bolt on the trail . (I hope) All for 66.00 buks ! Thanks to my son Stick for locating and purchasing , and milling the plate after work ! That kid is awesome. Even if he did break her ! FjR68

I do NOT have your phone number here to call you back, or your e-mail.
I do have a question about your set up. Let's verify, first, your springs are 2.5" wide.
Second, your 8.8 axle, because they do come with different size tubes. Yours is a 3.25" outside diameter from an Exploder?
Third, the tricky part. On your HP D30 front, drive side, does your leaf spring mount sit on the tube at one height and on the pumpkin at a different height? If this is the case, I need to know the difference in height. No problem customizing the kit for your set up for the same retail price, I just need to verify. (If your leaf is 100% on the tube, no sweat.)<<If it is a late model YJ front without CAD, just say so, but I thought it was an XJ front that is swapped in.>>
I'm sorry - One guy working at Dynatrac today in sales, because they're at some Pamona Dirt Bike thing.
