u-bolt question

[bad_bo_ti]

on u bolts is there a reason for the tall nuts or can you use standard thickness nuts? thanks, chris

I think they use the tall ones so you can get to them with the deep socket w/out having to cut off too much of the bolt.
Mine has standard nuts on them. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

When i had my u-bolts made, they gave me tall nuts and washers for free /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

If I'm thinkin right the tall nuts have more surface area so will not be so likely to loosen. Good luck to y'all.
