Leaf spring\axle housing U Bolt torque specs?

[JJSnell]

I am FINALLY getting around to removing my stock leaf spring spacers and want to know what the torque specs are for the U Bolts?
I'm finding 150lb from an older F150 truck.
Is that right for us?

Perfect, that was it thank you.

Did you use the stock 4x4 u-bolts when you removed the spacers?

Yeah, they hang down a bit but nothing more than anything else and I don't off-road or risk grabbing anything. This way the next owner can throw them back in with no effort really.
If ya want some pix I can get some.

Thanks. I'll most likely do the same as you. That's what I did on my last Silverado and never had a problem.

I really like the "sit" now. Decreased the Rake quite a bit.
