The thing that bothers me is the ability of any one with a 9/16" wrench being able to quickly remove the nut from the bolt at any time, anywhere and causing you to find yourself down the road with a major problem on your hands not to mention the damage that could be done. In my case, the rear shackles, especially, are very visable.
I would like to come up with a more secure way of "locking" the carriage bolt and nut on the truck, without a major production, but with a way that would obviously discourage anyone from even considering messing with the truck.
Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but it sure is easy to remove that nut from that bolt, fast!! I'm thinking in terms of a cotter pin, a hitch pin or, best of all, a push on retainer clip, like is used on rear wheel drums, to hold the nut on and not be very visable.
