Question:

Hi, I need to flip the axles on my 2005 Weekend Warrior LE-3305. Good news, Weekend Warrior apparently welded perches beneath the axle and on top of the axle. With the perches already in place, I am assuming all I now need is new U-Bolts and Nuts, correct? If so, please direct me to which ones so I can purchase.

Expert Reply:

To convert your axle for a top mounted leaf spring I would recommend replacing the U bolts, nuts and tie plates, so your best bet would be to go with a U bolt kit.

For a 2-3/8" round axle use # APUBR-1
For a 3" round axle use # APUBR-9

You don't want to actually turn the axle over, because it would have your wheel camber going the wrong way.
