Reusing stock u bolts with newton lift

[usudno]

I was wondering if the newton 2.5" leveling kit with a 4" rear block required new u bolts are if there is still room on the factory bolts.

Installed the same kit on mine about a month or so ago. It serves it purpose well.

The stock U bolts are not long enough though. The U bolts that come with the kit work good and seem sturdier. The are plenty long as well. Probably the same you would get if you went with a 5" block.

The part that gave me trouble was the track bar spacers. I found curse words that were not in my regular vocabulary. The tabbed bolts in the frame will test your patience and humanity..

Not to steal your thread, but how is the newton product quality and also can you post a pic of the finished product because, I am thinking about going with the same set up.

Below is a before and after with the Newton 2.5" and 4" blocks. Definitely a good product. And the quality was nice as well, IMO. Took about 6 hours to do but as they say, "if I had to do it again, I could do it in half the time".

Definitely can tell a difference in height. Ride quality is pretty much the same as before. No noticeable difference and the axle has not shifted.

That kit looks better than any other I've seen besides the 6inch or higher but, I have no need to that just want a lil bigger tires nothing crazy
