local source for leaf spring pack square u-bolts?
Anyone know of a local source for a 1/2" x 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" ublot? Snapper the thing off my Jeepster last night.
Elias does not stock these... any hardware or other place that may have them? Tired of paying Crown Automotive $8 every couple of days to ship stuff to me...

A trailer dealer usually has this stuff available.

I know Advance Auto has square U-Bolts. Im not sure of 1/2'. Look them up online. I go to a spring shop in Hartford with used or broken one and they make them up while you wait 10 min. Have not paid more than 40 buks for anything Ive had made. Q-Tec , 4x4 parts everywhere wants 75/80 buks. There has to be a spring shop near you. FjR68

Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.

They'll make them on the spot, reasonable price. They made some out of 7/8" stock for one of my mogs to replace some existing ones I had to torch off.

harbor freight and tractor supply did not work out.... Will check the other spots soon. Not a big rush but thanks for the replies! Still managed to drop 120 at Harbor Freight and half that at TS

Are you sure they are 1/2 in. ? Most stock U-bolts are 7/16th. Bring one of them , even if its broken to a spring shop. If you upsize the U-bolt the spring plate would have to be re-drilled also. FjR68
