U-bolts? Other parts?

[kb0zke]

When the shop was looking for the u-bolts for my truck, my neighbor mentioned that they had a set of u-bolts for their trailer. They aren't anywhere close to what the truck needed, but seem to be identical to what is on my Reflection. They carry them because they heard u-bolts have been known to break. Should I get a set and carry them, too?

What other parts ought I carry as a general kit? Later on I'll be asking about things to take with should we decide to drive to Alaska.

When we set up our "just in case" stuff for our Alaska trip we included a spring, u-bolts, shackles & bolts, as well as bearings and seals. The one thing we didn't take was a spring hanger (because they're welded on). And that's what broke.
