Are you using a spacer or something inside the king pin cap?

I get my caps and arms on Thursday...

That www.differentials.com is a RIP off, I ordered my GM caps form them, $9.89 each and chargem me $32 $12 shippign on CAPS!! then they send it COD so I have to have the wife go to the bank.. what a PITA.

Id like to see the spring plates.. I have to made a set also..

for spacers i am just using the piece that i cut out of the arm...sticking it inside the stock caps...

i thought about buying new caps...but ia m just going to use the sheetmetal stock one and then cut the arm off the other one and use it for now with just 1 inch longer bolts...

the spring plates ia m making tonight are just enought to hold the ubolts down...nothing special...then i am getting some made that will have the 90 degree bend in them so they dont bend when you crank down on the ubolts...those wont be here for a week or so, so i am just going to torch some holes out of .25 plate to hold me over until then
