Description

Ford/Chevy/Dodge U-Bolt Plates for 3" Springs

Heavy-duty U-bolt plates for full-size leaf springs and multiple axle sizes.

These U-bolt plates are designed with standard 3" wide full-size Ford, Chevy, and Dodge leaf springs in mind, but they'll easily accommodate anything from 2.75" to 3" wide. Whether you're doing a spring-over or spring-under setup, these plates offer solid strength and fitment flexibility for a wide range of builds.

Each plate is cut from 3/8" hot-rolled P&O steel and includes 3 center pin positions, letting you dial in your wheelbase without redrilling. They'll fit axle tubes from 2.5" up to 4.125" in diameter, and accept 9/16" to 5/8" U-bolts — though we always recommend going with 5/8" for the added strength. These are made to handle trail abuse, not just look good in a parts bin.

Great product!

My plate on my 84' were shot, can't wait to get these in and never have to worry again. Thick and ready to used and abused! You won't regret buying from ruff stuff specialties, great prices and even better products.

Beautifully made but...

They are made very nice but the center hole was a tad too small for me. They are about 9/16" diameter so the 5/8" od nut(3/8" nut) of my spring pack wouldn't fit until I drilled it out to 11/16". This is on the stock springs on a 1980's Ford Ranger... I would think if anything they would be on the small side of the truck world. It did drill pretty easy though, just keep an eye on that.

Top Quality and Easy.....

The slotted plates make installation simple, I used them to do a U-bolt flip on my 1996 Dodge 3500. The clearance is tight by the frame, but they work fine.

The quality is awesome, I'm a fan for life.
