R&P Knowledge Hub
What this kit supports: This kit is built around a 2" square axle tube with square-bend u-bolts and matching hardware for leaf spring mounting.
What the BOM confirms: The bill of materials shows 4 square u-bolts, 2 tie plates, 2 spring perches, and 8 nuts, so this is more than just loose u-bolts and nuts.
Measurement note: The updated product diagram now carries the dimension callouts directly. For this kit, 1/2" is the rod diameter, 2-1/8" is the width shown on the diagram, and 5-3/8" is the u-bolt length shown on the diagram. It should not be described as an internal length.
Before ordering: Verify 2" x 2" square tube axle size, hardware style, spring seat layout, and matching plate/perch requirements before installation.
R&P Service Insight
On square axle service work, it is important to think of the hardware as a clamping system. The u-bolts, plates, perches, and nuts all work together to keep the spring stack aligned and secured.
- Correct Bend Style: Square-bend u-bolts should match the square axle tube profile
- Complete Hardware Matters: Tie plates and perches are part of the system and should not be overlooked
- Verify Threads and Fit: Check thread condition, perch center hole, and plate width before assembly
