Rick. Plowing exerts a tremendous amount of strain on your hubs. I live in North Idaho, and plowing in the winter is usually part of my day. I would not use hardened bolts, due to the same concerns already expressed. Can you tell if the bolt holes in your truck's front end are wallowed out? This might be why they are loosening up. Or the fact that they were loose at any point in time could have caused them to wallow out. Could you possibly drill them out and tap them to the next size? JH
