So back in 1999, my truck was fitted with aluminum side steps by the dealer (according to the original owner). The side steps mount to the frame at three points one of them being the leaf spring mount point. Since 1999, there has been NO nut holding the leaf spring bolt... uh oh. Because of this, I'm assuming the bolt has bounced up and down in the hole, warbling it out (pictures below). I want to fix this issue and put a nut there. I'm thinking of welding a washer in place to act as the new hole? Any better ideas?
