It is good that we all now know that they are shouldered bolts and are set up correctly.
On the farm we once bought a brand new grain trailer to pull behind our semi. The first time we hooked it up we crawled underneath to check it out and found that the factory had forgotten to put clamps and nuts on the u-bolts that held the back axle on. Somehow they had gotten lucky and delivered it to our yard with just the weight of the trailer and the u-bolts hanging keeping things going.
It is always a good idea to check out new things. Mistakes do happen.
