The only real problem i seen out of 14bolts is breaking the plug welds on the axle tubes,But that is a easy fix fully weld them on.

I've seen so many broken 10 bolts growing up. All just from friends running factory tires. They are grenades. There is a 14 bolt under my z71 1/2 ton....

the 60 only goes in the front man! trust me, if you're going tons get a 14 bolt and be done with it. maybe a sterling. D60 rears aren't that awesome
