Those are actually grade 5 bolts which should be more than sufficant to hold her together from any stress, at least in this application. Using a lock will tighten things up as well.
The gold plated ones are grade 8 which I think for this application are a bit overkill...perhaps I'm wrong on this.

Hi Brad..
Try them...They are in there now ..The grade 8 would be my choice..The lock washer will keep the nut from backing off..That is not the problem..The bolt will stretch without the nut backing off and will loosen that way..
It may take a little while depending on the carrier usage ,but keep and eye on them,..The first time you get some loose ones,measure them ..you'll probably find out they have stretched..
