Are you going with a stock axle? If not, the other options (Jeep 8.25 and Ford 8.8") are bigger diameter. NAPA number 730-4454 I think (3" ID)
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

I ordered my replacement u-bolts from ESPO Springs 'N Things.  They knew what size I needed.  They were a little longer than needed, but the right diameter.
