Grade 8 Steel Where It Counts

Grade 8 is the highest common SAE bolt grade for automotive hardware, meaning these U-bolts are rated for the clamping loads a heavy-duty front axle generates under load and off-road flex. Using hardware rated below this spec risks bolt stretch and leaf spring movement. That is a failure mode that affects steering geometry and axle alignment. Replacing worn or under-spec U-bolts with correctly rated hardware restores the clamping integrity the suspension was designed around.

Corrosion Resistance Built In

The black E-coat finish seals the steel against moisture and road salt, which matters on a front axle that takes direct spray. E-coat is applied by electrodeposition, reaching recessed surfaces that spray coatings miss, so the finish holds up in conditions where bare or lightly coated hardware would begin to rust and seize. A corrosion-resistant finish also makes future removal for a spring swap or inspection significantly easier.

Complete Kit, No Hardware Hunt

The kit includes the U-bolts, nuts, and washers needed for the installation. Having the correct nuts and washers matched to the U-bolt diameter and thread pitch means no substituting hardware from a general assortment, which can introduce mismatched torque specs or seating surfaces.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits owners of 2000–2004 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty and 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 4WD trucks who are replacing worn front U-bolts or installing a new front leaf spring and need correctly rated, application-matched hardware.

This kit does not fit 2WD models, early 1999 F-250/F-350/Excursion production, or any other make, model, or year. It is front-axle hardware only and is not intended for rear spring applications.

Common Questions

Does this kit fit 2WD versions of the F-250, F-350, or Excursion?

No. The ICON front semi-round U-bolt kit is designed for 4WD models only. It does not fit 2WD variants of the 2000–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty or the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion.

What hardware is included in the kit?

The kit includes the semi-round U-bolts in both the 11.5-inch and 12.5-inch application-specific lengths, along with all required mounting nuts and washers, so no additional hardware needs to be sourced separately for the installation.

Does this kit fit early 1999 model-year trucks?

No. The ICON front U-bolt kit does not fit early 1999 production F-250, F-350, or Excursion models. The fitment begins with the 2000 model year for all three vehicles.
