Rear axle U bolt torque

[rockethound]

How much torque do i need to put on the U bolt nuts on my Rear axle?

I'm installing a new(to me) rear end and i removed the nuts with an air ratchet.

Replace the U-bolts and torque to 75 ftlbs i believe.

I went to 9/16 u-bolts with my d44. the guy at the spring shop told me to crank'em to 175 ft/lbs
