Re: Dana 60 U-bolt Spring Plates?
Been thinking since my last post and have looked more at the truck. Rather than edit my post, I'm posting here that I am going with round u-bolts. Obijuan's words made me question the square bolts, which I never really liked, and all the reasons have come forth. It's not just the threads hanging down to get buggered up. I like the way the round fits the axle snug all in one piece up through the plate and the bolts are fore and aft of the axle, not side to side. If the bolts are loose at all the square bolt can shift fore and aft, which allows the axle to shift. I just like that set-up better and since I need to buy something, I might as well do this. As far as possible future changes, the round bolts are what the HO52 uses anyway, and I'll just keep all the original Dana 60 stuff all together.
