as the title says I just wanted to verify the U bolt dimensions for a 12 bolt. 3" width x 7" length x 9/16 thread right? I have a belltech flip kit installed and need to know before I drop $80 on u bolts a local shop will fab up. Does the flip kit use a stock U-bolt?

A bit late,

The 12-bolts are indeed 3" axle tubes. For length you need, you can take the thickness of spring pack (probably 3-5") + the axle tube diameter (3") add on an inch for the nut and a half inch for threading.

If I remember correctly, 9/16" does sound correct.

$80 for a set of ubolts is quite expensive..

Was about $40 at a shop near me and that was for extended ones as well.
