yep my local spring shop is rude

I ventured into my local "City Spring" shop that does leaf spring work. The rocket scientist behind the counter begins to question me furiously when i ask for U-Bolts to accomodate my 3" rear blocks. "Thats very unsafe, blah blah" and "You yourself will have to measure them". He then proceeds to pull out a book and tell me they are 2 3/8" girth, but he'll need the length, and bolt size and actual length.

Anybody have the exact U-bolt dimensions of a stock 92 B2200? He is also charging 7$ per bolt and has to custom bend them.

Anybody know of a better/friendlier source for these U-bolts?


tanks

thats a pretty fair price, the guys probably just trying to help u out

first he said he didnt know any dimensions, then pulls out a book

trust me he wasnt trying to help at all, this site is 10X more helpful to a mazda noob like me...

just go to your local parts store..most sell the whole lift/lowering block kit for under $30.00.

Don't know where you are from but I got mine at autozone.

you wouldnt happen to have a part #? I am in Canada, and we dont have Autozone...

Any place that sells the 3" lower/lift blocks should have them.The autozone part number is 13-1040 but that is for the blocks and u-bolts.

first were in canada and second I just got my u-bolts for the nissan and the shop I use is great came and measured it up and had everything done in no time and cost was $38.00 but they were for 4 inch blocks.

don't know about exact, but 2 3/8" girth isn't right, more like 2 7/8" or 3" diameter (inner) x (1/2-13 or 12-14mm not sure on the rod diameter) x @ 7" long should be close to stock, but if your gonna run blocks, they will need to be longer than 7"

haha.
you said girth.
