This is a very simple concept that even very smart folks seem to struggle with, to the point that even though they "understand" it, they don't understand it enough to trust it.
So, I've devised a simple illustration and I've got some questions ahead of time to see what folks think will happen versus what really happens.
I took a 1" x .120 piece of tube 2.060" long which means it has a 3/4" hole in it and I bolted it between 2 floating side plates out of 3/16" x 2" rectangular strap. The other ends of the strap have 1 1/4" holes in them to slide over a piece of 1 1/4" solid round bar stock that has a 2" lift tab welded to it.
The holes for the bolt are 3/8" and the bolt is a simple grade 8 LE bolt with coarse threads, no washers and a grade 8 nyloc nut. The holes are exactly the distance from the end of the strap or 1/2" so when the sleeve is flush to the end, the bolt is in the center of the hole which provides a 3/16" air gap all the way around the bolt to the inner wall of the sleeve.
The bolt was torqued to 45 ft. lbs.
When I start lifting the front of the Jeep off the ground, will the bolt sleeve move?
