Replace D60 U-bolt studs?

[Mastiff]

The regular U-bolt reuse/replace debate has been done to death, but how about the studs on the cast side? Are they safe to reuse? I mostly ask because I'm loading my cart at diy4x with new plates and he doesn't seem to have them. All the stretching type concerns seem way less relevant to the short studs.

I replaced mine only because they were heavily rusted. Used GR8 5/8-11 studs

I have grade 8 bolts (and reuse them).

This, that is what I did

I need to replace mine. One snapped off somewhere along the line. Since I have a Dodge axle, I think they are smaller in diameter. Will probably go with some grade 8 bolts when I get around to it.

I bought mine from WFO. I think they were like 15 bucks with hardware. I highly recommend them!
