Of course Trail Gear is closed on weekends, so that is no good.

What's happening is the nuts for the shackle bolts are smaller on one side than the other. The bolt can only get through the nut about 3/4 of the way before I cannot go any further. Is this right? It just seems that they are not tight enough, and will allow too much play for the leaf pack.

And, of course, I have no ride to get some, and this is the only weekend I have to do this. Just seems Sh$%ty.

Any ideas, guys?

from the TG instructions....

"Grease the exposed threads of the of the bolt before installing the crimp nuts."

did you do that?

That is how they lock. Put some muscle into it and tighten them all the way down, they will crank on all the way. You should have 1/4"-3/8" of the bolt exposed beyond the nut when its on all the way.

You are trying to install the crimp nuts.

Just do as joez says above.

Oh boy. What a newb move. I missed that. Not to be an excuse or anything, but I didn't receive paper instructions. So I'm running back and forth from the office to the garage. Printer doesn't work either.

Thanks for pointing that out guys.
