For all,
I checked the torque of my U-Bolts this morning with the torque wrench set at 62 (ft-lbs). All 16 were less than that torque setting, some worse than others. I also got out the Dexter "Operation Maintenance Service Manual" that came with our rig and found the torque specs in there (1/2" U-Bolt: 45-70 ft-lbs.). Dexter also recommends inspections be performed every 6000 miles. Here is a link to the manual: Dexter Manual. The torque specs can be found on pages 63-64.
Grant: Mine required the use of a 3/4" socket.

Makes me wonder how many thought to be loose were actually within specs at 45 lbs? Obviously, if they were at 45 lbs and I used a torque wrench set to 60 lbs I might think they were loose.
