Isn't there reason to be concerned with the higher end of the torque that is mentioned? Aren't those specs for the grade 5 - 1/2 in bolt as mentioned. Wouldn't there be a different spec for a U-bolt that surrounds a tube (axle) that is susceptible to bending? This is just a question with no scientific data to back it up. It seems to me like that much torque could put a bend or at least a dent in the axle.
