I went with ARB's since they are stronger and they have grade 8 bolts, but they are not needed (stocks do not have them, and it is the weakness of the stamped steel that is the issue with stock diff covers, not the bolts)

So just to confirm. They do come with grade 8 hardware and torque to 25 lbs?
I'm installing these with lube lockers Wednesday and their instructions say 30 lbs.
