A well equipped 'spring shop' can make them for you while you wait. I had mine made here in Dallas & got to watch the press do its thing. Talk about a big machine...... this thing was huge x large. They had many different length selections for the bolts so just measure your originals & add 6" to the over-all length. I would highly recommend bringing a template of the u-bolt spacing (using the mount attached to the rear end housing as the guide). I did this to make sure they formed the u-bolt to the exact dimension needed to slip right over the axle. It sucks when you have to wrestle the bolt into place & scratch a bunch of freshly painted parts.
