My 3500 lug nut spec is 140 ft-lbs. Nuts are easy to remove if torqued correctly to begin with. I use a Proto 6014 250 ft-lb torque wrench which is long so I use it to break the nuts and retorque correctly. Tire shops almost always over torque the fastener. Best when you get home from the shop is to loosen the fasteners and tighten correcty so you won't have issues on the road.
Sorry, I didn't bother to look up your suggested items.
Good points! All one NEEDS is a long handle TQ wrench. I have a nice Proto that I actually used yesterday. I used a long handle ratchet wrench with a flex head. Once I broke the nuts loose I use it almost like a speed wrench to loosen and tighten the nuts.
I highly recommend carrying a TrailerAid Plus.
