 Topic: torque on pod lugs 171Posted: 07 Feb 2012 at 7:18pm |

Techntrek is right, lift kit has nothing to due with torque on lug nuts. I think they are being over cautious on checking torque at 25/50/100 miles,it does not hurt anything but your car has aluminum rims on steel and or aluminum drums/rotors and you do not have to do that on your car. There is thermal cycling, eg hot expanding, cold contracting when differential metals meet they can looser. nothing wrong with checking torque before each trip. I am sure their lawyers are trying to proctect them.

The risers won't change the torque needed on the wheel lugs.

I purchcased the axel risers form Forest River and attached to the invoice are installation instructions from LCI (Lippert Components, Inc). Step 8 says "Reinstall wheels and torque to max recommended value. Typical max torque is 120 ft-lbs. Re-torque wheels at 5, 10, and 25 miles or until torque stabilizes."
I thinks I like the sticker values and mileage ... But do the use of risers add something new into these values?
