not sure of the exact spec but they need to be TIGHT, minimum 100# i think, i didnt ever measure mine, i just cranked on it with a big ratchet and 4 foot pipe till it felt pretty damn tight. never had any problems (which is more than i can say about the rest of the truck)

lol....I am installing a lift kit which involved removing and installing a steering arm on the front so I needed the torque spec. I finished the front lift, with help from CK5 of course, and couldnt finish the rear lift because it started raining like hell, therefore I will finish the rear lift tomorrow

I've never know anyone who had to remove the lifted arm i put on and tightened.....
the only complaints about arm removal ive ever heard are people removing the STOCK arm, (factory tightened and on the truck for 20+ years...)I never tightened down one of those......
