u bolts - Grade 8 or 5
anyone have an opinion about u-bolts for a Dana 44 front axle? Pro comp has a kit for around 40 bucks, but I think they are grade 5 material. Should this worry me? I can get grade 8 from somewhere else, just did not know if necessary? Thanks in advance.

Re: u bolts - Grade 8 or 5
If the price difference isn't much i would buy the grade 8 ones and never worry about it.

Re: u bolts - Grade 8 or 5
Grade 8 here as well. Grade 5 will bend and break. It isn't worth a wreck IMO.
