Okay so I found a couple of exhaust clamps so I might be able to use the u-bolts from those.

These are the parts I have.

So the bushing bracket sits on the axle with a piece of flat iron in between, held on with the u-bolts ?

That leaves us with the square u brackets, end links and the long bolt which is supposed to 2 of and 2 sleeves.

The end links I assume attaches to the crossbar at the rear somehow

 

EDIT: I had a peek in the belltech instructions and they use a u bolt clamp between the flat plate and bushing brackets, perhaps that's where the square u brackets go. Makes sense I guess since there are two pairs of matching brackets and bushing brackets in terms of bolt hole spacing in the doorman kit

EDIT2: And the bolts and sleeves are probably for use on a lowered vehicle.

Also referred to as axle U-bolts.

Made to fit several common axle tube diameters.

People like Speedway Motors, SouthWest Speed, and JEG's has them.

The 620 tubes are approximately 2.75".

I used 3", and squeezed them down, then later found 2.75" ones somewhere....Always happens.

 

Still looking for those damn brackets, where ever in the world I stashed them.

But they are nothing more that 2.75" leaf spring perches that I bought from one of the aftermarket, race car vendors.

My axle bolts (u-bolts) are 3/8".

McMaster doesn't have anything in a 2.75", just 2.5" and 3", so you will probably have to go 3", and squeeze them down.

5/16"  will probably work.

Just remember, they have to go under the brake line....
