I would also recommend the lock-nuts and/or grade 8 nuts with loctite.
I have a question, I have a spare set of round bars rated at 800lbs which I would like to alter by adding chains to use with my E-Z Lift hitch system, I plan on drilling two holes in each bar for U-Bolts and adding chain, is there a certain type of hardened chain and u-bolts that I should be shopping for, as DD716TED stated above there is a considerable amount of pressure on the u-bolt / chain.
