QuarterMaster 8 leg install

i am getting ready to install the new 8 leg by QM and the kit didn't come with the 4 bolts needed to mount the TOB.

i bought some bolts at Advance Auto and the strongest ones i could find are the grade 8.8,which i believe is comparable to grade 5 us.

anyone know if i'm good with these or anyone used similar style bolts or ?

I picked up some hex head bolts at a local bolt/fastener shop that are stronger than grade 8. I also put lock washers and blue loctite on them to ensure they don't back out.
