Yes. Over time the bolts will stretch and loosen up a bit with frame flex

Re: Welding vs Bolt In

If you don't do a lot of towing and

Maybe plan on lowering it more in the near future,

I would leave it.

If you like the Stance and do any Heavy Towing,

I would defiantly weld it and take the bolts out

and use a copper spoon as a backer and weld the bolt holes up.
