hardware to replace rivits
I removed the spring hangers and other stuff to smooth the frame rails and was wondering what the hardware of choice is in place of the factory rivits that attached everything.

Re: hardware to replace rivits
You can't go wrong with the appropriate sized grade 8 bolts.

Re: hardware to replace rivits
I wish they originally used bolts to put these together. But that's What I use too. Besides if you ever need to change something-zip,zip and your done.
