i have been doing this for about 4 years now. i go with 1.25" - 1.5" SS bolts. i opt for the locknuts, too. even when you try to stretch the life out of a set and wear into the nuts, they come off pretty easy. another mod i will do is to use D rings on the loops where your laces go. it makes it a lot easier to tighten the laces down.

you can get some very good deals from jamestown distributors on stainless hardware. they have a website. i ordered some more hardware last monday, and they were at my door in about 2 days.
