Depends on the ring gear bolt size and the intended use. Have gone through or set-up R&P's multiple dozens on early 8.2's with the 3/8" rh thread ring gear bolts. With a 4sod and lower gears in the car, have always sourced new bolts for the reinstall . Refreshing bearings in a 2.78 or 2.93 geared early 8.2, have usually reused current ring gear bolts. Gray iron 8.2's, I wont blow bucks "upgrading" them for high torque applications, been there, they wont hold up, instead build up off an 8.5 A body hsg.
