What is the torque for the bolts on the uprights? I need to raise mine to get more bed rail clearance.

Yup, 80 ft/lbs. Just moved mine tonight, and checked the instructions first.

Not the u bolts or the draw down bolts. The uprights that hold the head of the *****.

Brandon327, I have a B&W Patriot, I'm pretty sure the hitch part is the same. Still have my setup instructions , says to tighten those bolts to 80 ft lb.
