Alright guys I have a Chevy Dana 60 front, I'm sure this is a common problem on the passengers side right by the pig there is two studs that hold the leaf spring plate in I broke both of them off it's a crappy design from the factory I think. I tried to just re weld the
Broke them again. Was thinking about helicoilin them but isk I I can get them that big or not the hole is 5/8 inch so how did u guys solve this issue

couldnt you drill it out then tap it?

[justin0421]

That's probably what I'm Gunna end up doing but someone already drilled it before so it's dry close to the pig
