Rear bumper bolts.
Looking for opinions on Grade 8 VS Grade 5. I have no idea what grade would be used on stock bumper bolts.
I bought Grade 8 cause there plenty strong, then i got to thinking, in a rear impact is it possible the tinsile strength of Grade 8 bolt could possibly fracture and shear where a grade 5 would bend? I know shear bolts are a low grade 2 or lower. My bumper will have 4 1/2 National fine grade 8's with the shank long enough that no threads will be in the frame and bumper plates.
