I have a 4 inch rear lift block and was thinking about using these. Anyone have any experience with them? Reviews seem to be mixed. Thanks!

I would go with general spring com

My lift came with new u bolts, which was rough country. I upgraded my springs from 1500 to 2500 springs. I gambled by reusing my rc u bolts.. however I do plan on buying a new set from generalspring, since that's we're I got the springs

don't you need 2.5" ubolts? Not sure if you were just using that link as a price reference...

Yes, you're correct

I bought the lift used from a truck in the junkyard, and the u-bolts were no good. 4 inch Rough country lift spindles, and 4 inch blocks.

Thanks, i went over to generalspring.com and they seem to have some great reviews! Does this look about right? Should i go to 5/8?

Check out any big rig shops in your area. I got u bolts for my 4" drop for like $15. Told dude what I had n 10 min later had 4 new bolts with nuts n washers.

I work at one of those truck shops. Every time, and I mean every time, a truck comes in for lift blocks, I upgrade from 9/16 to 5/8 u-bolts. There's plenty of room in the saddle for the larger bolt diameter. There's no reason not to.

I didnt check out O.P.s link, but there's my 2 pennies anyway.

Holy crap. $30 for four U-bolts?

I'm paying nearly that for ONE at the local steel fab shop. I think it was $24, but I can't remember if that was with, or without tax.
