Whats the correct torque for the 04 F150 w/18's:o I'm putting on the 35" BFG Mudds.

Discount Tires has it down as 150 ft/lbs.

 

recheck them after a week also. Most tire places don't torque the lugs, they just run them on with the air impact. It works most of the time, but sometimes one gets left loose. Also heard of improperly torqued lugs warping front brake rotors.

Thanks for reminding me. Just got tires Monday and I need to retorque the lugs with an honest-to-God torque wrench instead of an air impact.

 

That's right, according to the OM it's 150fl/lbs. Trust me, it's a real B**ch when you remove/replace your wheels every time you detail your ride. Also beware, if you're installing wheel locks I would decrease the torque to around 80lbs.

I had a set of McGards that I installed at 150 and eventually had to have them chiseled off the front driver's side.

My next set will be installed at 75lbs.

 

I would like to see your combination. I put on a 2" leveling kit but cannot fit 35" tires. I was wondering what a body lift would look like.

Thanks!

 

150 ft-lbs??? Holy crap.

 

Its really not as bad as it sounds. Just be sure to use a torque wrench to evenly spread out the torque, Keeps the rotors from warping.:santa:

 

I'm just accustomed to 95-101 lb-ft of torque. Sounds like I'll have to spend some more quality time tightening up the wheels when I do the oil change *blah*
