One of the best off road upgrades you can do for your 2nd gen Ram is to flip the rear U bolts so that they don't hang down under your rear axle. The stock setup leaves the factory U bolts exposed to rocks, stumps, mud, etc. Our U bolt flip fixes that by putting your U bolt plate on top of the spring pack, and then we use 5/8" Grade 8 U bolts and 3/8" steel bent U bolt plates to hold it all together. This will work with your factory springs or any aftermarket setup, just make sure you order U bolts long enough for your application. This is the same kit that comes with our shackle flip kit (more info below).

Please provide info about your rear suspension setup during checkout in the comments section so we can make sure you get the correct length U bolts. If you want to measure for what you need, give us the measurement from the bottom of the axle tube, to the top of the leaf spring pack. Custom lengths will take a little extra time but there is no upcharge for them. We stock several sizes of U bolts to ensure you have the correct length for your application, so the more information you can provide during checkout, the better.

These U bolt flips will not work on trucks with the factory upper overloads on top of the leaf packs on stock height trucks - there is not enough clearance between the frame and top of the leaf pack for the larger U bolt plates to fit. You must delete the upper overload springs and the block that goes with them, and then our U bolt plate will sit right on top of the factory leaf pack without any other issues. If you have at least a 4" rear lift, then you may be able to keep the upper overloads.

U bolts are non-returnable after they have been tightened/torqued. Please make sure you have the correct U bolts for your application before tightening them all the way.

Q: Hello, I have a 2001 2500 Cummins Ram with the Dana 80 rear. My U-Bolts and the plates they are bolted to have severely corroded. I'm very impressed with your U-Bolt flip kit and believe it to be a great replacement and upgrade for my rotted factory U-Bolts and plates. The truck is a stock truck as far as factory lift block and springs etc. I think the my U-bolt length is 14 inches, does this sound correct? I measured from the top of the leaf springs to the bottom of the axle tube. The measurement was right at 14 inches, so would I need longer U-Bolts, 15 inches? I appreciate your expert advice and look forward to purchasing this part along with some of your other products. Thank You! -Kyle

A: That length is correct, it's always best to get them a little longer because you can cut them down afterwards if needed. Too much thread isn't a problem, but the U bolts being too short is.

Q: What is the length of these u bolts?

Asked by: Bryan Michael - 1/3/2016

A: The shorter ones are 11" and the longer ones are 14", but both are threaded more than half of the length so they can be used for a variety of setups. The extra thread can easily be cut off once installed.

Q: Hi I have a 2001 off road edition that I'm axle swapping and in the rear I would like to use your u bolt flip kit. Im using the stock 1/2 ton leaf springs and a dodge Dana 70u. I was wondering if the top plate would be too wide for for the 2.5 inch leafs? Thank you for your time.

Asked by: william gardella - 3/7/2016

A: We have a U bolt plate that will work for you. It uses the D70 U bolt spacing, with the 1500 spring width spacing. We have quite a few customers that swap one tons in their 1500 trucks so we started making those a while back.
