Hello Matt. You can absolutely use bolts, nuts and lock washers to secure the CE Smith Light Duty, Vertical Bunk Bracket # CE10603G to the frame instead of U-bolts. Just use some good strong bolts and you will be fine. U-bolts are the typical installation method but there is more than one way to do it.
