Yep that's what I was afraid of and I went 3/4 . If the bolt is sized correctly for the application and stays tight, it shouldn't see shear forces like a pin. Problem is 5/8 bolts aren't strong enough to get enough torque in them to clamp everything solid, so they stretch, get loose, then you are depending on an already fatigued piece to act as a pin.Good info.guys run 1/2 and 9/16 bolts on jeeps, but most have bushings or flex joints so that takes a lot of the impact
