Whether you’re installing a lift kit, replacing worn suspension components, or fabricating a custom truck body, our U-bolts are built to handle the load. We serve professional mechanics, fleet operators, and DIY enthusiasts across the nation.
Our made-to-order process ensures you get exactly what you need for applications including Ford, GMC, Chevy, Dodge, RAM, and more. With same-day or next-day fulfillment from our Fresno location, you won’t be waiting weeks for your parts.
Important: Always replace U-bolts when servicing leaf springs.

spring failure.
BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES
Why Betts U-bolts are the right choice for your suspension and fabrication projects
Never reuse u-bolts
Old U-bolts stretch and fatigue over time. Fresh U-bolts ensure proper clamping force and prevent axle shifting.
CUSTOM BENT TO SPEC
Round, square, or semi-round configurations available. We bend to your exact measurements for perfect fit.
GRADE 5 & GRADE 8 MATERIALS
3/8" to 9/16" available in Grade 5. 5/8" to 1 1/4" in Grade 8 for heavy-duty applications.
UNPLATED FINISH
Unplated construction allows for proper torque specs without risk of coating interference.
