You overtightened them that much? Either lay off the juice or put the impact gun down.

My 1999 expedition is 100 ft-lbs, probably the same with your F150. I am at work, but I have a chart at home that has every car from the 70's until now and its lug nut torque. If no one answers otherwise, I will get back to you tonight.

The torques spec for the 98 is 100 ftlbs. It is even stamped onto the lug nuts if you look carefully.
