[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3928756, member: 15054"] I made front leaf spring clamps for a Ford Harley truck that was upgraded to the better Ford supercharger and cooler and a tune. I was told the truck put 550 tq to the wheels. I used Grade 8 bolts from Ace hardware. 1/2" diameter and they broke. Grade 5 worked. Was it a made in China bolt that was not up to the task? I know the truck dead hooked with clamped front spring pack and wheel hopped with no clamps. Drag slicks of course. Most of my vehicles got used 7/16" head bolts for the clamps and never had any issues with them. [/QUOTE]
