As long as you have decent tread on the tires you'll be fine.
Use 2" long bolts and just tighten the nuts by hand. That will leave about 1/4" of bolt sticking out.
If you're feeling crafty, a couple hunks of 2x6"x3'-4', a drill and bit, box of 1/4" nuts & bolts. Paint em blaze orange if you want to be overlandy about it.
