Could be bigger and grade 8.
Grade 8 bolts are less likely to stand the strain of the chains suddenly snapping tight. A grade 8 bold is for clamping force, not shear. In this application a grade 5 is sufficient and a better choice because it will stretch and/or bend before it breaks - a grade 8 will snap because it's more brittle.
