hi membership.
hoping a fast question 

anyone know the exact sizes for a dana 30 narrow track

tubes look to be 2'' inner shoulder to inner shoulder of bolt.
the large passenger u bolt looks to be 3 1/8  (3.125) but I see them being mentioned as 3 1/4 (3.250)
3 1/4 seems to large?

I suppose either 7/16 or 1/2 diameter would be fine.

if someone can ease my mind.

I have not had good luck with omix and a few local retailers so I am trying to source these correctly
omix large ubolt does not fit at all. and the small 2 inch for the tubes drops down but almost 1/4 gap on the top is that normal.

other application u bolts I have used in the past fit allot nicer.

Welcome to the almost-fits, almost-works, and almost lasts world of Omix-ADA. No, that is not normal. Not normal for OE or good workmanship, anyway. Safety-wise, no, that is not good. Send them back with instructions to deposit them somewhere that sunlight cannot get on them.

Once you nail down the size you need (sorry can't help at the moment with that) I highly recommend this place: 


I tried them out a couple years back and their products are great! Everything is made to your order and they would get me my parts in a matter of days. 

It's been a great resource for me.
