Assembling the front subframe and CA's and I have a stockpile of Grade 5 bolts... just wanted to verify if they are ok or if I should be using Grade 8's?

I used grade 8 when I replaced mine.

I used (4) 3.5" grade 8 w/2 flat washers and 1 lock washer per bolt on my LCA's

Where is the (dare I say) cheapest place to get the grade 8 stuff? Do bolt kits usually have these included, such as Prodigy Custom's?

All of the chassis nolts I needed were included in the kit I bought from Rick's

If you have a large Farm/Tractor store in your area check them out. We have one here called "Rural King" and you can buy bolts and nuts in bulk by weight (Grade 2, 5, 8 and metric). Grades 8's are around $1.69 per pound.
