Torklift install question
Hi there. I'm back.
Installing the torklift mounts I got last fall and have a hardware question. The ones for my truck pinch a plate along the inside of the frame rail and use leverage to hold it all in place. The old flanged nuts spin freely, but the instructions call for a locking flange nut which are usually hard to turn as the thread pinch to hold it in place.
Should I be using locking flange nuts? I have some, but if I shouldn't be, it could cause the torque reading to be inaccurate.
I can reach out to them, but am working on it over the weekend and would like to do it right.
