SHOP GRADE 8 SQUARE U-BOLT KITS HERE!
7/8″ Grade 8 square bend U-bolt kits are engineered to provide maximum clamping force and durability for leaf spring suspension systems used on:
- Heavy duty trucks
- Medium duty trucks
- Light duty trucks
- Select automotive applications
Square bend U-bolts are commonly used where the axle seat or spring plate requires a flat, squared profile. This design allows the U-bolt legs to seat evenly and apply consistent pressure to the leaf spring pack, helping maintain proper axle alignment under load.
What’s Included
Each ATS Springs Grade 8 square bend U-bolt kit includes:
- (2) 7/8″ diameter square bend U-bolts
- Deep nuts for increased thread engagement

Why Grade 8 Matters
Grade 8 hardware provides:

This makes Grade 8 U-bolts ideal for demanding suspension environments and higher load capacities.
