    Try:

    From what I've read here, his parts are very good quality. I plan to buy a set of blocks and U-bolts when time and space permit.

    Another solution is to check out one of those big 4X4 chain stores. They sell U-bolts of different dimensions but they usually say NOT to try and "design" your own custom suspension with their parts...

    So I would just go with Beefed Taco's stuff...

    His stuff is amazing and incredibly well built. I have a set of custom 4 3/4 inch blocks, bumpstops, and u bolts.

    Just be warned there is a long lead time between ordering and receiving you parts. I believe he's a one man shop and can get extremely busy. Worth the wait though.
