: Chevy D60 Kingpin Caps?

Does anyone have a source for these?

I am installing my behind the axle high steer arms and have found the drivers side cap is very thick as it is the steering connection for chevys. The thickness will force me to use a three inch bolt and then shim the kingpin spring under the cap with 3/4" of washers :eek: . I don't like the idea of bolts that long, as they will only be in single sheer with hydraulic assist pushing on them. So I would like to replace this cap with one from the passenger side.

The passenger side is very thin and will fit under the arm. The arms I got from Scott at Rockstomper are designed to accomodate the thinner cap, so no shimming needed and the bolts stay shorter.

Anyone know a source?

I am running Avalanche arms, with the 3/4 inch spacer on both sides, caps on top, longer Grade 8 bolts, and a 2.5" ram (5000 pounds of turn force.......no problems here.......:D
