I used a 2' breaker bar to tighten them up after tightening them with my ratchet.
I think they are tight enough now.

That's what I was thinking.
ARB Torque spec: TIGHT!

I guess I should restate myself. . .
I have a tendency to overtorque/strip fasteners
which is why I like torque specifications.
I noticed in the FSM that the bumper bolts should be 26 ft/lbs. That sounded kinda low for the ARB. Not wanting to strip them, I cranked them up to just 50 ft/lbs.
The bolts on the top of the frame horns never felt tight. Snug, yes; but not tight. Almost like they're on the verge of stripping. I think I'm just paranoid!
So - - does 50 ft/lbs sound tight enough?

If its not jerking around and they don't back off- call it good.
I think mine are like 90 ft-lbs for the drivers lower, 31 1/2 for the upper-probbaly 46.275 for the passenger upper and 82/Pi+3.1415 for the bottom on that side-yeah that sounds about right!
I'm just kiddin with you-don't fret over that. 50 is probably enough-if it has friction against the frame and can't move-it will sustain an impact.
Tight is tight, too tight is broken.
Actually I snugged mine up and gave them about an 1/8th of a turn more. With all the hardware holding it on its not going anywhere.
