I am adding some degree shims to get the pinion on my rear 8.25 up where it belongs. I had planned to reuse u-bolts (I now know that is bad) but ended up having to cut them off. I now have some replacement u-bolts from advance auto. They seem pretty crappy, but at least they are yellow like grade 8 hardware (I'd be surprised if it is actually grade 8). The really sketchy thing about these u-bolts is that they do not have the tall nuts like I expected. Has anyone run these with the short nuts? It looks like I could order some tall nuts from quadratec if I need to. I could also throw some jam nuts over the short nuts (there are lock washers already). Thoughts?
