I found this place through Google and called about ubolts for the axle of our Shasta. I had factory ubolts (on for 50 years) that only reached half way through the threads on the nuts. I guess Shasta only had short ubolts that day. They were massive 9/16th bolts on a 1 1/2 inch axle. Impossible to find...but wait! This place made them for $18 a set with free shipping. They weigh a ton. How can they do it? They also carry and make leaf springs. And they were very, very nice on the phone. www.autoandtrucksprings.com/catalog/U_Bolt_Kits-2-1.html

They had the stock rod, proper machines and a skilled technician that could cut, bend and thread that stock. Nice to see a U.S. Company produce a fine product at a fair price. No need to worry about counterfeit knock-offs on those U-bolts.
