I will be installing new Belltech leafs soon and I was curious if I use the stock blocks or no blocks? Also where is the best place to get a new set of u-bolts?

Maybe I misunderstood you but I wasn't sure if I reuse the stock blocks with the new leafs since the leafs have small plates on them.

i just bought a 1" block kit and and used the block and U-bolts out of that. but my U-bolts were pretty rusty u could prolly use them again but i would get new nuts. the autozone/pepboys/napa blocks will only fit a 2"-3" wide axles... a r/t comes stock with a 3.5" axle so u'll have to get U-bolts that will fit a 3.5" axle

I keep seeing 3 5/8 bolts on certain sites. R/Ts have 3 1/2 correct?
I am thinking of getting a set of bolts off this list. What size do I need and what length is recommended?
