01 Ram 1500 Rear U Bolt Spring Plate Info Needed
So, I would like to replace the rear lower spring plates that the u-bolts go through on the bottom of the axle for a Chrysler 9.25, but I'm having a really tough time trying to find these. I looked through some online OEM part site and when you click on the ones they list, it says for the Dana 80 which is obviously not what my 1500 has. I tried looking on eBay, but most of the OEM ones I'm seeing say they fit 94-02 2500's and 94-99 1500's. I've yet to find any that say they fit an 01 1500. LMC Truck only lists these for the 2500's as well. Have any of you guys run into this? Does anyone know the part number for the correct ones?
I also need new u-bolts. Any recommendations? I do have an add a leaf in there, so I'll need slightly longer than OEM. I'm really not sure the length, is the best way to just measure from the top to the bottom?

Contact these folks and provide them with information about your truck (year, make, model, etc.) - also best to measure the length and width of your existing U bolts - http://www.springsnthings.com/
I just ordered a new set of U bolts for my truck as I noticed one was broken.
