Don't quote me on this, but my father who is a retired mechanical engineer and I were talking about a very similar thing recently. He was throwing about some very impressive numbers for the strength of the bolts holding the D-Rings. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-50K lbs - for each bolt!
Again, don't quote me on this. It was several weeks ago and I was keeping an eye on Reed at the same time... But if my memory is even partially correct there should be no issues.
EDIT -
We were talking about the bolts that mount the D-Ring assemblies to the frame, not the bolt that is integrated into the D-Ring itself. Also these numbers were about pulling on the bolt's head and threads, not shear.
