Shackle bolts and nuts. What are you using??

[hodag]

Im doing new 1" over shackles and poly bushings this weekend. I am planning on using 5/8" x 5" grade 8 bolts. Ive been told to use nylocks or crown-nuts to retain them.

Anyone see a problem with this? Should I use Locktite? I may spring for greasable bolts in the future, but for now I'm on a budget.
