Yes, done correctly they won't stretch. The bolts work with or without the welded plates.
Yes, just the bolts threaded into the steering box, benefit from the Grade 9. The other bolts use nuts and washers and are very lightly loaded.

is it just me or does the weld in plates seem a little flimsy? I dont think its thicker than 18ga... at least the ones I got from 4 wheel parts...
