8 3/4 U-bolt question

Wow must have been installed with a 3/4 impact. The calvert cal track kit comes with round u bolts. I never squashed a housing like that . Lift kits for trucks also round u bolts. Someone either over tightened them or they came out of the Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee bridge jump car

Okay. Maybe the round ones will be fine. Maybe not. If I can find 2 more OEM ones for a decent price, I’ll get them and use them just to be safe. The price I paid was worth the shock plates alone, so I’m good either way.
