asked by: Hormoz K
Expert Reply:
According to Curt, it would technically be possible to use 5/8 inch diameter bolts in place of the pins used on their # C45008 Adjustable Clevis and Pintle Hook, but they do not recommend doing so. The weight capacity was confirmed in testing using the pins included with the clevis/pintle and if bolts were substituted, the weight capacity would be completely unknown. If you were concerned about theft, you could replace two of the pins using locking hitch pins such as part # e98881 which you can get in a 'keyed alike' option.
