shackle bolts

[BOWTIE]

Have any of you guys cut the bolt that sticks out of the nut once it's installed? After I installed these it seems that I'm gonna have to cut the remainder of the bolt to have some clearance. Check out the picture maybe it will explain it better.http://community.webshots.com/photo/24927226/25207623QrCDvCBVzA

I know that these bolts are hollow, but does is it hollow where the tread is at?

Thanks

bolt &lt;---- Clicky.

I think it would be safe to cut it off there flush with the nut.

The grease hole stops about half way through so that should not be a problem. I would loctite a new crimp nut though. I would do that because there is very little thread left before the nut would fall off if it came loose. The loctite is just a little extra insurance and yes I had a front nut fall off from the front spring hanger bolt once.

You can cut it off, no problem. You'll want to leave about 1 thread outside of the nut, and the loctite isn't a bad idea, just a little extra insurance.
