HElP D60 kingpin studs

[BIGRED74K20]

i just recently bought a 2.5'' king pin spacer and one of those superlift offset draglinks for $50. but he didnt have the studs/bolts for the spacer. i thought about using grade 8 bolts but the steering arm holes are counter sunk. does anyone know where to find long enough studs?

If you go to an industrial hardware supply (not retail like Home Depot or Ace), they should have them. Also, ditch the offset drag link becaue they suck. Get a dropped pitman arm instead to go with your raised steering block.

Well I wouldnt recommend the block and I dont know why they are still on the market because the are unsafe. You can see that the 3 grade 8 pieces of all thread ( cant find studs that long ) that sheared right off of the knuckle which caused me to have NO steering and this happened luckily in my drive way and not going 70 down the freeway. Get a dropped pitman arm or go crossover...it could save your life as well as someone elses.http://coloradok5.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=15162&stc=1&d=1138981046

do it right and go crossover. You will thank yourself the first time you drive it.

crossover on a 60 is so cheap and easy theres no reason not to.

yah looks like im gonna pass on the block. i was just gonna use that setup for time being until i purchase ORD high steer kit. how do you think just the offset draglink will work with 8" of lift?

get the base kit for under 400 and add high steer later.

I finished crossover this week on my 60. It isn't cheap, but man it handles like no chevy truck I've ever driven! Tight turns, smooth steering, and no bump steer...
