That's awesome harry!
smike has solid inner C's so I assume their stronger than stock.
Not sure any stud would hold up against that type of impact.
Trees are unforgiving @ Speed.

i see a stock limited something class racer in the works!

tap and drill to coarse thread 5/8" bolts will then fail a Chevy knuckle in half rather than strip off the high steer arm.  it was worlds of upgrade from half inch stock studs. 

next is what 571 and 928 have, solid knuckles.  after that, what 572 has, solid knuckles, solid C's and knewly added Artec tied in arms.  I can head on bounce a 28PSI tire off a 12" oak at 20 mph and no care.

Stock spindle bolts on all three cars though, right? Just high steer is stepped up.

solid spindle studs and locking nuts.  not sure if they are an ARP or not, but they are upgraded on all three cars.  Matts and Mine studs have a heavy tack on inside to knuckles

Thought I remembered seeing Smike post about 5/8 bolts. I may just replace with new quality stock and gr 8 nuts. I think the nuts are what failed... Those may have been sourced from Lowes with unknown quality

I need to look at rules and figure out what class I'd be in but I'm afraid my cage isn't going to pass inspection without an engineer signoff... Based on a convo with other friends here that are looking to get into it. I can't remember if it was wall thickness or OD or both, but I'd qualify under the 4000lb class but not the next one up.

Things like rcrocs racing don't have that stringent of tech like u4 does for cages.

Apparently ball joints are not tree-impact certified
