U Bolts from a Dakota rear end working on an 8 3/4. Has anyone used this or heard of this.

I believe I saw this on Slant six.org a while back. Has anyone used the Dakota rear axle U bolts on an 8 3/4 rear end? They supposedly have the flat spots at the top of the u bolt
for proper alignment of the axle.

I have Dakota Ubolts on my 8.25 diff in my Dart.
They have the flat area.

The diff I have is an original 73-74 Mopar 8.25 with Jeep Grand Cherokee gears and sure grip in it with the Cherokee disc brakes.
The Mopar 8.25 and the Dakota 8.25 both have 3 inch tubes, as does a 8.75.
