    That website totally skipped the step of cutting the axle shorter and rethreading the axle, huh?

    My advice would be: send them to geezer-x and have it done by the pros! You can get good, 8mm axles, guaranteed to be straight, hanger shaped with a boss so you don't need a speedwasher and a straight nut with built in speed washer too.

    Loose trucks may save lives, but they wont save you any money on your car insurance.
