I haven't seen any. But then again I have not really looked. Why a stronger dog bone? ( I can only imagine what Strype might say too that )

I really don't see the necessity. All they do is keep the lifters from turning.

It is not the dogbones and spider that are going to cause problems.

It is the lifters themselves...

Agreed. As previous posters have said all the dogbones and spider do is keep the lifter in proper orientation with the cam lobe. You will have issues with the stock style lifters long before you have issues with the spider and dogbone set up.
