got it working perfect now! When I pick up a load now the forks dont squeak, creak or groan like they used to so I guess I did some good. Used them all afternoon to move inventory around and no problems at all with them. Did a test lift,---picked up the back end of a IH 560 tractor to see if anything would break and it all held so all was a success with the new heavy tabs.
