Doubtful since they're metric. 10.9 or stronger would be the way to go.

Hauled amazing with the first load evened out on the trailer.
Second load was lighter but had more weight in front of the axle instead of on.

Hauled better than the hitch basket and a set of rims on it.

dengman - Thats too cool! I just picked up a little truck, so I'm turning the LS into a weekend/fun car. I was really considering adding a hitch at one point too.

trailer weighed 1650lbs empty
there was a h22 honda long block and 5 lug suspension and brakes from a prelude in there With a set of GTA wheels and screen printing equipment and shelving.

Thing was loaded and hauled like it was nothing.

yeah the hardware set to bolt the RCA to the ball joint was 8.8 grade hex bolts while the hardware set to bolt the knuckle to the RCA was 12.9 grade 10mm allen head bolts. this is how i get them from studio.

i recently installed my RCAs this weekend and upgraded the 8.8 grade hex bolts to 12.9 grade 10mm allen head bolts to match the rest of the hardware, and to also minimize the risk of any failures. i will post my experience of it all soon.

you can probably size them out and get them from McMaster Carr or fastenal.
