Are you lifting you're truck and need longer u bolts? You can get longer U bolts at almost any aftermarket parts place, but if you use an add a leaf rear lift you won't need longer u bolts. Check out Calmini for a lift for you're truck... they seem to have the best quality stuff.

Don't forget to check out the california Nissan section on the 4x4 parts BB for upcoming trips for the NorCal Nissan 4x4 club.

I guess I'm not quite understanding what you're doing. Are you taking apart your rear leafs, using an AAL by Rancho, and need the longer leaf pack bolt? Or are you adding blocks to the leafs and need longer ubolts? If you are lifting, how many inches and how are you lifting the front? Alignments can be very tricky if you just plan on crankin the t-bars

I try to lift my track just a little probably on 1”

What you can recommend? I check Calmini site but lift kit is very expensive $850.
I just want to lift my track. I went to the Hollister and I stuck on the first hill.

I'm not trying to poke fun or anything, but when you say " track", do you mean you're truck? If so you're posts are making alot more sense then.
as far as getting stuck on the first hill, You're truck is very capable offroad and can go a lot of places stock. I wheeled mine for years before I lifted it and it helped just a little bit. My suggestion ( since I don't know you're offroad experience) is to learn how your truck wheels now and save up for a lift. You can get away with adding a 3" AAL for the rear and new upper control arms/ball joints for the front, but you will need longer shocks for better supension travel and eventually aftermarket torsion bars.

If you have anymore questions, or would like to join us on one our hollister trips, just let me know.

Sorry my mistake. I have 4x4 Nissan Frontier SVE long bed .I order short leaf a few days ago. Yes I’m taking a part rear leafs and I need longer U bolts for it. I can make alignment on the dealer my truck under warranty. Now about my off road experience. I don’t have any. When do you plan to go to the Hollister? Please let me know I may be able to go there learn how to drive off road and meet new people.
Thank you.
Regards Sergey.

When I helped a buddy lift his 99 frontier, we didn't need longer u-bolts, just a longer leaf pack bolt( the one in the middle of the leaf) and it should come with the new AAL. Maybe yours is differrent though.

As far as Hollister, I think the next trip for the Norcal Nissan 4x4 club might be in march, but check here for updates:

Good luck on the lift and see you on the trails!
