Reese supplies all the hardware. The bolts are self threading. Drill the hole to the appropriate size and then run the self tapping bolt in and torque it. I had mine on 2 trailers with the same hardware. The last trailer it was on for 13 years and never loosened up. I did check them once in a great while, but they were always tight. I do believe they screwed up the install somehow, but it should’ve been caught earlier than this!
Same here, all the hardware came with the kit.
I will add one thing. You can get into a jackknife position where those bars can put a lot of stress to the brackets. I had to get into a lot of tight spots. And you could see the obvious wear marks on the brackets and the bars.
