Was wondering if i should use hardend steel bolts (similar to the king pins) for the three bearing flange/hanger bolts (3 on each side) and for were i connect my spindels (stub axels) to the tye rods and were the two tye rods connect to the pit man arm.

Iv been told to do this and iv been thinking very hard about it because i do not want to snap a bolt and face plant it into the assphalt or anything.:cussing:

Personally I used the standard zinc plated bolts on mine. But if you are concerned I would suggest a Grade 5, or 8 if you really want. You can get them at most Lowes and Home Depot's.
