Grade and Slope

Grade and slope (or angle) are not the same thing. The graphic above illustrates how a 90-degree angle is infinite. Typical U.S. interstates and major highways are capped at an 8 percent grade. This is a 4.57 percent slope. When you compare this to a protractor it barely registers. Much different than your driving experiences in the mountains. And nowhere near the road sign depiction of a 50 percent grade.

Fasteners

Fasteners come in all styles. When you are talking about frame mounted components on trucks it is narrowed down to two styles, huck bolts with collars, and threaded bolts using nuts.
