How many U-bolts do I need for my Jeep's front axle?

This Omix front U-bolt is sold individually. Most front axles use two U-bolts to secure the leaf springs. You will need to order two of these U-bolts to complete the installation on your vehicle's front axle.

What is the difference between the two bolt leg lengths?

The U-bolt has two legs that pass through the leaf spring plate and into the axle housing. One leg measures 6.5 inches and the other measures 7.25 inches. This difference accounts for the shape of the axle housing and ensures a proper fit.

Does this U-bolt come with all the necessary hardware?

Yes, this Omix front U-bolt includes the necessary washers and nuts for installation. You will receive the U-bolt, washers, and nuts when you purchase this item.
