Indestructible? I wish I would have known about them. I installed new brass bushings and wet bolts with holes at 9 or 3 greased them before putting weight on them. I drove 35 miles to spring shop and 35 miles back and the bushings were already stressed enough they would barely accept grease. I feel trailers from 6000 lbs to 12000 lbs loaded need wet bolts, trailers over 12000 lbs need IS suspension and disc brakes. Heavy trailers need heavy running components , and wet bolt kits are great for medium duty. If you doubt these statements and you have a 15000 lb trailer and 7000lb axles take it for a ride on I69 from Blue water bridge in Michigan to Auburn Indiana If your axles aren't bent and your bushings accept grease you have a better unit than our Montana.
