Grade 5 has three markings
Grade 8 has six markings
and apparently you should only use grade five or above on vehicles. Metric hardware apparently has an equivelent system where the strength is stamped on the head of the bolt as a number (they quote 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 as common ones).

why do u want a 4 inch lift anyway with that u most be close to a 8 inch lift overall plus those massive tyres . the centre of gravity will be very high. plus hight issues in woodland or forest off roading :|

i see what your saying as at the minute it allready is 7" higher than standard although the back is 9" over standard as for some reason the +2 hd springs lifted the back 115mm 4.5"!!!
what i want to achieve is to regain the upwards travel ive lost since fitting these wheels but more to the point is that the wheels catch the arches when driving on the road so i need 4" at least and even then im not sure how much the axle will twist before it catches again!
as for being top heavy im not that worried as the wheel track is nearly 6" wider so should make up for the hight and with the hd springs its very stiff and even with the rear roll bar removed i get very little body roll (as it is)

well i now have the spacers not as pretty as yours wizard but they were free so cant complain
also my cousin has ordered some m10x200mm high tensile bolts for the company he works for as they really need them ;) so again free of charge bit of luck they are long enough but if not i will get him to fit studs in both ends of the spacers :-k
