asked by: Greg
Expert Reply:
As long as the wet bolt that you are intending to use is the appropriate size, wet bolts can be used on the fixed side of leaf springs.
You will want to make sure that the bolt is the correct diameter, length, and that there is not a clearance issue with any other parts of the suspension when considering using a wet bolt.
I have included a helpful article that explains a some differences in types of suspension bolts for your reference.
