    @Zeviander Prolly to late now, I fell asleep early. You dont need lug nuts. Put a block of wood under hub. Dump air suspension, chain axle to frame rail, being certain not to wrap it around S-cam tube. Re inflate air ride, lock in power divider and drive home. Sometimes you have to block and chain deal a few times till its high enough.

    What are the odds that the rest of the lugnuts are tight ? If I were in Zev's shoes I don't think I would want to drive that thing an inch before I went over it hard on an inspection.

    Depends, only offering advise to get guy out of the road, or home if they are a crap company. See how two lug holes are dark and rest are shinny. They were the only two tight. 1. Them two were over tightened and broke causing the rest to loosen, or 2. Big air gun with pressure drop. Compressor can't keep up as fast as the kid was putting them on. Every nut gets looser and looser as psi drops. Plus he didn't double check them.

    10 lugs are required for equal clamping force. Even 1 loose lug in time will cause the other 9 to loosen.

    Causious. ..... causious ....... I can't seem to find a definition for that word on Google. Did you perhaps mean Caucus ? Caucasian ? Cassius ? ( Muhammad Ali before he changed it.)


    Oh ! You mean cautious eh ?
