I have a 2014 silverado 2wd i recently removed the factory 1.25" blocks & reused my factory u bolts. they still had enough thread & went on perfectly & torqued em on tight. I added red loctite before i torqued em back on.. Is it really neccessary to buy new u bolts after this mod? I mean truck is barely 2 years old.. If you think i need new ones please send me the link of the ones ill need cause i have no clue on the ones i should need after removing the 1.25" blocks. need yall help/opinions guys

They recommend new U bolts because they stretch. I have personally reuse u-bolts 2 or 3 times before buying new ones and I have never had issues but that is just me. If you need new U bolts, order ones that are two and a half inches wide inside the studs so it fits the leaf springs and measure the original u-bolt inside length and then just subtract 1.25 inches
