[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 1218820, member: 11383"] When I did this installation, I used a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier"]torque multiplier[/URL] to get that lower bolt to the proper torque. Shopping around you should be able to find one for around $200 (though the prices can go up as high as $3K). I cheaped out and got the one [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVT1S76/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']listed here[/URL] for about $80. So far it has worked well for my needs for a couple years. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this one to someone who was just trying out this tool for the first time. When I need to replace this one (whenever that happens) I think I will probably go with [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017K5ARU/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']this one from Neiko[/URL]. It looks a little better built, though it doesn't have the [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015YJK4NY/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']replaceable drive piece option[/URL] that the Ratchet Helper offers. I have found it a valuable tool to have around for many things. I most recently used it to help a friend install his RPG trophy bumper which mount to the steering rack bolts. It is also great to use on stuck lug nuts when a breaker bar doesn't work. I felt the same way. I was planning on fabricating something that would raise it up a bit. If I create something worth showing off, I will post pics of it. [/QUOTE]
