How many times can you torque bolts on a hitch?

Bolts are cheap, peace of mind is priceless.

So far, I am the only one who torqued them since new. I had to pull out the slider part of the hitch and go with the fixed hitch since the slider added about 3 inches to the height of my trailer. Purchased new side mounting brackets and now I am about 2" nose high. They recommend to check torque every 500 miles.

Why would you need to torque the bolts to determine which position leveled your 5er?

Technically if the bolts have never been over stressed it is ok to reuse them. The problem comes in not knowing how tight the original installer tightened them. Did he use a torque wrench? Or did he follow the rule of if tight is good then tighter is better, and standing on it is great.

For the costs of that few bolts I would also replace with new grade 8 bolts.

Probably a good idea to replace them after a few times.
Thanks

Not to start a war here but I personally would replace them with Grade 8 bolts.

They are metric Made In China and no idea what rating these have.

If you don't over torque there's no harm.
