HIGH degree of irony at play right now - considering I am the one who
initiated this thread. I now am thinking I might not make it. Running
short of cash again (yeah like thats a news flash). The front end of
the Ram is loose... and my tires are in iffy condition for another 1800
mile jaunt.

The three days I requested off work would go a long way to helping find
time to get stuff done around the house that desperatly needs attention.
  (sigh) My buddy may not get the time off work either - and I'm
thinking that if he doesn't get the time off - then maybe I will just
cancel the trip. Damned real life BS getting in the way of my happy go
lucky care free slacker ways. (grumble)

If you see trenches dug, land mind warning signs, and barbwire - he
prolly doesn't want that Dakota anywhere near The Barn LOL

Scratch AZ off your list for possible places to get U-bolts. We carry a
few boxes of bolts that are for "rear block lifted" suspensions. Me
seriously think you no find what you need there.
