amstaff I think you will enjoy them. We went with Cat 2 for the FIL old 265 MF (60 hp). The 7' 3PH bush hog is about as heavy as one can be and we have some steep hills and when turning it wants to flop one way then the other. I really had my doubts able them holding up but three years later all is well.
I went to TSC and bought enough grade 2 (soft) bolts to fill ever tapped hole and got them long enough I could use jam nuts (double nutting). That stopped me from lossing bolts.
Take your time with the shim placement and kept trying different angles so in the working state you just have a straight pulling force.
