The issue with a grade 8 bolt is that the thread length is very short. The un-threaded part of the shaft of the bolt has to be fairly precise, not like a threaded rod where you can adjust in and out as much as you want.

You could use 8 inches of threaded rod and just cut off the end when you were through. 6 of one, half dozen of the other....
