Ruff stuff brake conversion kit

About a year ago we put a brake conversion kit on the old 97 it worked well for aviut 6 months then we started braking bolts that hold the caliper in on the passenger side. Put new bolts in and a few months later they would break again. (Grade 8 bolts and lock nuts) and so on a so forth. It feel completely off and we realized the caliper pins are bent fixed if then a month later the driver side flew off no warning or anything. Anyine else had these issues?

Is this for the rear to run disc's?

Are you torqueing them properly? Shouldn't be snapping grade 8 bolts often.

Any pictures?

What is falling off? The caliper or the bracket on the axle housing? How thick are the bolts?
