7.25" rear axle? If so, you want 2.5" U-bolts from Summitracing, or any spring supply place like Espo Springs n Things. Firmfeel.com should have them too. Probably parts stores have them or can get them too. If you have an 8.75" or 8.25" axle (only retrofitted later in a 63 car), you need 3" u-bolts. Hope this helps! Lou |

I put 3" Lowering Blocks on a '62 Valiant that I have. It has the Stock 7 1/4 Axle - I Got some super ridiculous and long u bolts for it from speedway. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?q ... ccessories As Lou said they are fairly ubiquitous... Try any local spring or trailer shop too. they have a machine and can make them to order for you usually while you wait. Safe travels! Greg |

how can I identify the type axle I have? It is a 9 bolt rear. |

9 bolts with a sheetmetal cover on the very back of the axle housing would be a 7.25" axle. The axle tubes will be 2.5" in diameter. Lou |
