[QUOTE="Highroller, post: 49216, member: 25"] The spec for the Raptor Lugs is 150 ftlb's. I have 15000 mile on my truck and have rotated the tires every 4000 miles since new. I do this myself, don't trust the steelers. Anyway heres what works for me. I start by hand tightening the lugs, I then use the lug wrench in a cross pattern to make sure the wheel is centered and the lugs are seated. I then tourque them to 80 ftlbs still using the cross pattern, I then go up to 110 ftlbs, and then the final to 150. I then double check everything. After 100 miles or so I recheck the tourque and have yet to find a lug thats not still at 150ftlb's. Hope this helps. Mine where loose from the factory. P.S. I use a 1/2" drive tourque wrench thats rated for 250ftlbs, a short 3" extention and a metric deep well impact socket. The metric socket fits nice and snug, and will keep you from cracking the chrome on the lugnuts. An SAE socket is too sloppy. Note: When buying a tourque wrench, your needed tourque value should never be more than 2/3rds the wrench rating. Here's the wrench I have, I have checked it against my smaller Snapon and it's spot on and a well built tool.
