I see they are out there on Google, though.eHoeflerExplorer IIJun 09, 2013Reese supplies grade 5 bolts with there hitches.45RicochetExplorerJun 09, 2013LINK Yep really hard to find :BGo grade 8 OP.gkenworthExplorerJun 09, 2013I'd use grade 5 for any hitch 20k and smaller. I think you'll have a hard time finding grade 8.agesilausExplorer IIIJun 09, 2013I wouldn't use anything less than Grade 8, there isn't that much price difference anyway.
