I would try to avoid 9/16 bolts since they aren't common and not used in ag so not going to find in many stores if needed. If I recall 9/16 became popular because that is what TJ control arms used and carried over into mainstream use just like the 2-5/8" width rod end/joint size.
I shimmed the two I built until I got slight resistance spinning by hand similar to setting pinion preload on a differential gear setup. At the end of the day would be same as factory dana 300 specs like Woody said.
Bought it on ebay here:

Finally got around to installing my fire port in the dash. Its designed for an inboard boat and the idea could jam the element extinguisher thru it in case of an engine fire. It is possitions right behind the fuel rail fitting and near my rear steer hydraulic fittings. Also found a spot in the...
Did some winterization maintenance and repairs today. The brake cantilever mount started to bend while at Sand Hollow and causing some resistance. Straightened it and slowly bent back either by use or I often push off on it while getting in/out of the buggy. Today I added a double sheer tab to...

On my last buggy with a TH400 there was enough material to pull the factory plastic vent tube out and drill/tap to 1/8" NPT and use a barb adapter to vent hose. MY 700r4 has very little material around the plastic tube so I used some heat shrink on the factory tube to shim it up then some 1/4...
For me I cross engine valve cover breathers to other side and down with filters. Trans goes back to the bottom of a B pillar X tube used as catch can so will drain back into trans if rolled then righted. T-case is sealed bellows. Steering is to a a T with 10 psi pressure relief to maintain...
Friend mentioned a trailer for sale from a guy he bought some stuff from. For $1000 picked up this 25.5' partial tilt bumper pull 14k torsion axle trailer. Slowly rebuilt it of the last year. The tilt was just a 1.5" hole thru both frame rails with just a bolt and was seriously egged out. Used...
This is the pickup tube i am using, I read about it on Jesse's Pokey build. Uses a Camaro oil pickup to move it toward rear of pan. It is discussed in post 391, 392, and 397 in this thread:
