One could manufacture a nut approx. 3-4 inches long, that would function as the original nut. Then at the same time it could be counter bored to fit over the casted part about 2-3 inches. That would strengthen it big time...I'm not sure about the inner one, haven't really looked at it.

Besides, after yours is lifted you'll find plenty of things to reinforce

Some good underbody protection is a good idea. <span class="ev_code_RED">Hint...Hint...Now what do I need to buy??? Looks like this will be a fab-it-ur-self project? Since even the GREAT TDuty dude is having difficulties hunting this down...Any luck yet?</span>
The Fabtech diff skid plate can be bent easily and as it's attached to the diff, so you don't want to be hitting anything with it anyway. The front lower control arm brackets are prime to get bent up. <span class="ev_code_RED">Can these be beefed up via more fabing, plate & welding?</span> The sway bar could do with being 2" wider. <span class="ev_code_RED">Can do in the sheen shop...</span>
There will be plenty of things that will get broken to spend your time on
<span class="ev_code_RED">Like I need something else to work on now!!!</span> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks again for all of your help...
"The Shop" is doing all of the work now. They are also affiliated with "Critter Getters". You should see their 130K rig they just built for a dude in Corpus...I'll get photos when I return home. Bad A$$ swap buggy that can draft 6' of water!!!
