When you do anything to the pin box (which is easy to do, even by yourself, I've done it) or the hitch, you should replace bolts, nuts and locks. Many times the threats on the nuts and bolts are gulled, and locks are collapsed. Then re-torque the new bolt's to standard spec's. Anytime you mess with any of the bolt's, nuts and locks you should replace. From the factory, they are a grade 5, but have even seen some grade 2, change to grade 8, it's a cheap investment in security and safety. You should be good to go. Safe travels! :)
