I don't think a hardware store will have ubolts. The size will depend on what rear axle you have. The Add a leafs didn't come with new ubolts?

I have the 8.25 rear on a 99 xj. and they didn't come with ubolts just center pins. I'm fairly certain the shackle place should have it

Not to argue, cause I'm on board the Replace Them train, but I've heard that XJ ubolts aren't designed to stretch on install like some others, so they are reusable. Just something I read on a forum once, so can someone clarify that?

A u bolt is a u bolt, they are all made to stretch.
