We just did one, and I used some fairly short Timberlok type lags 
(thinner and stronger)  I wasn't super excited about only having an inch 
of wood to grab, but the edge wood is stronger and denser than regular 
2x material it seemed.
I predrilled the holes, and got solid anchors, without splitting.
