I picked up a set at autozone. You should find a set at most any auto parts store.

i did too but later took it back cause the "u" bolts were to big and too wide

Were the bolts too big for the block and/or axle? Did they have any other blocks?

 

Summit has a whole assortment of blocks, most seem designed for Chevy/Ford solid axles, but maybe something will work. Their tech support can also help you track something down.

U bolts are too big. The semi-circle has a 3-3.5 inch ID, while our H190s, have a 2-5/8? OD. Basically there is a good amount of slop.

Use those blocks. Bring your old U bolt to your local spring factory or 4x4 shop and say "I need a U bolt like this but # longer."

I got a set at Canby for an H-190 and just held them with vice grips and hammered them with a 6 pounder until they matched the smaller H-165 U bolts. Worked perfectly.

Woodys 4by4 made my b210 ubolts for 14$ apiece, thats the first place i looked could be cheaper elsewhere. Thats in vancouver washington by the way.

Baxter auto parts has so many sizes of U-bolts they stock for 14.99 a piece I think.

Woody's is awesome. Sometimes I'll take my lawn chair over there and just hang out in the parking lot until they call the police.
