When moving leaf springs above your axle can you reuse your u-bolts and just put on new spring seats ?

Expert Reply:
If your U-bolts are still in good shape you could reuse them. You would just need a new spring seat designed for your diameter axle.
I attached a link to a page that has all of the spring seats we carry. If you select your axle diameter from the filters on the page the correct one will be listed.
