4" lift on the M1008

[AlexFolino]

Finally got 4" front springs, 4" rear block. 4" extended shocks. Only problem im having is the u bolts i bought from a friend are u shaped and not the factory square u bolt. Not only to mention they are not long enough to go over the block and the CUCV springs. What have any of you done in this situation? Do any of you recommend an exact size and whereabouts for rear u bolts? After this i only thing i need are extended front brakes hoses. I can make the rear lines work the way they are.

My U Bolts came with the kit from ORD.

Did you run the u bolts going straight up?

Had mine made at a local driveline shop.

buy ubolts for a 4in lift for a 1 ton.

You need a u bolt flip kit WFO sells the parts you need.

I would also recommend the Dana 60 stud kit instead of the stock bolts for the 60 housing

The bolts in my cheap kit were nuts down. However, these nut up kits look nice.

Thats essentially what i wanted to do. I might just take a steel plate and make my own top part instead of buying.

You cant flip the ubolts if you have stock rear springs.
The spring plates hit the frame.
