Just was thinking about all the threads on this site about ubolt torque, and the discussion that indicates Dexter torques the nuts at their factory. If that is the only time the nuts are torqued prior to delivery, and Dexter does not torque the nuts in a loaded configuration, on the trailer with wheels on the ground. Dexter is torquing the nuts with the springs unloaded and curved quite a bit compared to loaded by a trailer, then when installed on the finished product, the springs have been straightened out some which could relax the load on the ubolts, maybe causing the nuts to be looser than specs. I'm not sure about this, just wondering.
