Need ring gear bolts for my 14 bolt. Called Drivetrain Direct and found out they were out of stock, and the guy tells me to just use Grade 8 bolts with a lock washer.....does this sound wrong to anyone else? Aren't these bolts Grade 10 or something for a reason?

I was trying to stay away from the stealer because I really am not to keen on spending $70 on ring gear bolts......:flipoff2:

did you check?
I got my high steer studs cheaper at my local stealer than some of the parts gougers are selling them for. ;)
Might be worth a phone call at least. ;)

Grade eight will be fine. Just be sure the shoulder diameter is the same.
