Another Lift Kit Question

For anyone who has installed your own lift kit: What did you torque the nuts to??? The specs from the internet and other places list anywhere from 130 to 170 ft/lbs. for a 5/8 bolt w/18 threads/inch. Just wondering what other do-it-yourselfers did. I emailed Trail Manor, but they never got back to me.

The install was pretty straight forward, except trying to get the old rusty bolts off......I had to jack up the pressure on my impact wrench.

FYI.....I found some frayed brake wires during the install also. The wires were pulled too tight where they go through the axle bracket, and had rubbed against the sharp metal there. On 1 wire (the ground, thank goodness) it was down to 3 strands attached....really lucky that I still had brakes.
