I honestly can't remember what size it is ... I was just giving you a couple different sizes in an effort to show you where to purchase "a drill bit that big that didnt cost a small fortune" and no one has any "experience" with these drills since they are just random drills I picked after doing a search on eBay ... no one knows if they are junk or not.

buy one, try it and report back to us your findings.

What happens when you blow a rear tire at 65mph and those u bolts dig into the asphalt.Looks like they are well below the bottom of the rim in the pics.

mmmBoost · 02-12-2011, 01:58 PM

If you only blew one tire it probably wouldn't hit due to the lean of the truck since the other side would still be inflated

Tell me WHERE!!! Did you find a drill bit that big that didn't cost a small fortune!

I went the cheap route and bought them from harbor freight.
I used the 7/8" drill bit & did the drilling in 3 steps.
Surprising enough, the bit cut really good & it didn't dull out too bad.

yeah the bucket of water was over kill for the job, but I was teaching my son about safety at the same time.
He cut the 2nd spring and all the sparks fling around where tripping him out.
I put the shield back on grinder and put the spring in a bucket of water so he would feel conferable cutting the rest of the spring.
He's still learning & I don't want to scare him off too soon.

He is 11 now, in the pic he was 10
