Yeah your coil springs can move when you only have the top bolted in.

The tube on your 60 should only be 1/2" wider than the mount of the 44 c's. Don't know why Paul said 1". Don't drill the lower bucket until you have the c's on and all bolted up, then measure it right the 1st time for drilling the new hole.

Cause youd be a total idiot with a fat wallet and no sense if you paid $49 for 4 pieces of steel plate and 8 grade 8 bolts. If you want the spacer's I'll make you some and sell them to you for $45, better deal?

haha ok, well the only reason i would buy them is it would be very easy. if i make them i would have to track down some .5" steel cut that shape out, buy the bolt which i went to the farm store today and couldnt find any the right thread. then i woud have to mark them and drill them with and i have no drill press soi would spend 5 hours making them and running around town finding stuff for 30-35 bucks or shipped to my door for 50

just gut your c's before you weld them on. Worst case, you need to make an 1/8 to 1/4" spacer like we did for Pauls. Easy enough.

yep. Measure 1st! you can quickly tack them to the tube, then measure edge to edge on the 44, then measure edge to edge on the 60. Take the difference, divide by 2 and that's how much you need to cut from the inside of the c's.
