I have some plates and maybe some U-bolts, but would have to match up the measurements.
So let me get this straight: You are using 2.5" wide springs and perches, right? What is the axle diameter?

factory ubolts and plates are square ubolts and formed plates with shock mounts

The axle tubes are 3" diameter and the spring perches are 2.5 wide. I was hoping for factory hardware to match up with my current shock mount arrangement. I could make my own flip kit but I'm not ready to modify my shock mounts and/or purchase new shorter shocks.

which way are you mounting your u-bolts, over or under?

Factory style like the first picture.

I would go like the second style if you can. I've seen the first style cause rigs to get hung up.

if you go with the first and you change spring perches you shouldn't need different sized u-bolts. and really you could probably notch your current spring perches. correct?

I have a simple sharpener for ski bottoms and edges that I can let go. Perhaps we can swap stuff. I'll give you a call Sunday.
