There's such a thing as being TOO picky. I'd use some fine thread Grade 8 bolts and nuts, fabricate some 1/2" thick backing plates to fit inside the frame, and get out the long-handled wrenches. On a frame that size, being concerned about a little wear is sort of silly. I'm going to assume the truck isn't going to see max gross weight loads often, if at all, right?
