Ford recommends 129 foot lbs, is this what you should set on aftermarket lca's? This seems a bit high, I torqued mine at 100 ft lbs and haven't had any problems. Just curious as to what you guys are setting them at.

I set my BMRs to OEM specs... 129ft lbs. That is a lot, isn't it? LOL

I have the Billet arms and they said to torque to I think it was 100 Ft. Lbs which is a good amount of torque but i was not comfortable with that since the factory spec is 129 so i set them at the factory specs.

Ok so what am I missing here ? I have not torqued my lca nuts or anything.. I did that ****ty shop installation ... so is it neccessary to torque them ? all 4 nuts to 100 LBS ? what about the uppers ?

I have lowers and uppers..

BMR parts, torqued to 129 ft-lbs. Get out the torque wrench and crank on it! The uppers use the same size bolts, so I torqued them to the same specs.

Well that might not be very tight depending on what size ratchet or wrench you used. go get yourself a cheap torque wrench from discount autoparts. you can get a needle type that goes to 140 ft lbs. for $20 I think. It's not as accurate as the click type torque wrench, but it's better than nothing and works good for torquing your lug nuts.
