Re: Western Chassis Flip Bracket/U-bolt options
FWIW fellas, spend 15 minutes surfing the web for U-bolt specs and information, EVERY page I have found has said to replace the U-bolts when removing them for suspension work. These things stretch, threads weaken due to everyday use, and due to the mfr'ing process for the bolts and nuts, the nuts actually damage the threads when installed, and removing and reinstalling cross-threading occurs and will prevent proper retorquing when reinstalled. Just because they look fine to our naked and un-trained eye, doesn't mean they really are.
But hey, if you want to skimp and save $40, go ahead...but the consequences could be much wor$e if even one of them fails.
