If you can afford 50 whole cents for the peace of mind, add the jam nuts to the bolts and rock on.

Rear leaf spring bolt question?
A couple of years ago I had to replave my damaged fiberglass spring with a new one, well I used new original style bolts that had the hole going through for a cotter pin. Well I thought the back sat up to high so just recently I bought the longer bolts with poly bushings and now I have it sitting mostly level but the longer bolts does not have the hole provision for a cotter pin. Is that ok? It came with lock nuts and have been driving the car that way now with no problems but just wondering if that's fine. I only have a couple of threads sticking out of the locknut.
