Ruffstuff U-Bolt torque?

[Pighead]

I'm not really a hard-core wheeler, but this isn't stock tech either.
I've had the Ruffstuff spring plates, now have the Ruffstuff U-bolts.
5/8"...what will be my final torque on the U-bolt nuts (15/16ths socket) ? Ballpark is close enough probably.

Round a 100

a Hunnerd!?! shoot, I'm at 100 on my initial tightening. My old 9/16s torqued at 110 or so, thought these would take a lot more.

I set them with my Impact at setting 4. It's significantly over 100 ft/lbs. None get loose.

I guess I should know...

But I have some specific thoughts on Ubolts, I put them on like the factory does. You don't bring a new vehicle back after 500 miles to check the ubolt torque, they are meant to stay on for 50 years. I set the impact to tight and stop when it gets tired...I would guesstimate 125-130ft/lbs...

Never had a problem that way, setting them to some factory 77-90 setting just seems too lite and they do work loose, these can take big torque so give them what they want
