Default Re: U bolt torque 2007 Tundra

Don't use pneumatics on it! That causes more damage than good. The only thing a big air gun is good for on a vehicle is REMOVING the lug nuts, not putting them back on.

98lbs is for the gen 1 trucks. I don't know if the bolts are larger on this truck or not, but a safe bet would be 115lbs with a torque wrench and then check after 25 miles.

I know the torque specs are around here somewhere.

edit:

SOS rear axle flip kit with new ubolts has torqe specs of 60lbs
RCD GEN1 double cab Ubolts torque specs are 85 - 100 lbs.


I would tighten to 90lbs and check after 100 miles and then again after 500 miles and if all is well, then you're good until you can find out for sure.
