2024 Max Tow rear control arms

[antmachine]

I'm installing a lift on my Gladiator and when cracking the stock nuts and bolts off the rear control arms, I noticed they were damn near impossible to crack.
It took a 24in breaker bar and damn near all my body weight to get them to move.
Anyone know what the stock spec should be on these?

Yeah, that sounds about right. Factory spec is a specific value + an additional rotation of a specific degree (something like 74 + 50°) but for the bolt size, it will be 190 ft lbs.

Thanks @wayoflife! that totally makes sense now. I vaguely remember torque + rotation from high school auto shop class...

Also, looks like some of the links in your signature are broken.
