what size bolts? 5/8" right? on mine i honestly torque them entire too much...i get the 1/2" drive, toss a 3 or 4 ft cheater bar on it and go till it won't go no more...

mine have still shifted a hair...

anyway, im thinkin it should be around 180 ft lbs. 100 ft lbs is nothing for u bolts.

nvm, it SAYS 5/8 should be 125 ft lbs. still a little low in my book.

I usually go 120 ft.pd's, I think I read on DJM's site before that that was the correct number,. I have seen on an old set of belltech instructions that said 140ft pounds but man that my wrench never wanted to click off that high so I said eff it and went the djm route.
