Without looking at the pieces and identifying them, you can't really judge the strength of the items. For example, most of the Clevis connectors sold at tractors stores are actually lower rate. When I was buying those parts for vehicle recovery, I had to go to a crane supplier to get the strength I needed. For what looks like a 3/8" clevis, the 5T rating is the max you can get and the one at tractor supply stores will usually only be 2-1/2T.
Would assume the turnbuckles are also high grade forged loop ends which makes them about as strong as possible.
Since you trust Superhitch with the hitch itself, wouldn't it be prudent to also trust them with the other hardware supplies? Without really knowing the specs of the hardware provided, I would be very reluctant to swap out hardware with other hardware that may not actually be up to the task.
