I said it would help keep them from sliding and gave the main reason in the next paragraph. :R
In addition, the bolting on with through bolts has nothing to do with the brackets sliding. It has everything to do with the brackets bending. I doubt very much if those threaded bolts in that kit would hold the brackets from bending out of shape with an overloaded situation. They would most likely just pull out.
The purpose in posting that was to help educate some members who do not realize the reason for the 5 chain link minimum requirement between the snap-up brackets and the WD bars.
