Depends on the system - Equal-i-zer head shank bolts require 320 ft-lbs. :E Hitch ball torque - 450 ft-lbs is more like it. ;)

Good luck torquing something to that unless you have a 3' long torque wrench.
That's my point. ;) Back when I owned my own 1,000 / 10,000 lb Equal-i-zer I managed to borrow a torque wrench that was at least 5' long and rated up to 600 ft-lbs. Good thing, as I completely rebuilt that EQ several times before I got it set "just right", then had to do it all over again when I changed my tow vehicle.
