Just installed new Bilstein HD Shocks all around any one know what to torque the rim at I have the 17” OEM rims on my 03 1500

 

95 ft.lbs.

 

I've seen conflicting specifications between the owner's manual and the service manual. Some references specify 95 ft lbs. Other places specificy 135 ft lbs. I routinely torgue to 140 ft lbs using a torque stick on an air driven impact wrench on my 2005 1500 QC w/20s in the summer and 17s in the winter. BTW, 2500 and 3500 are 135 ft lbs consistently between the driver's manual and service manual.

Roger...

 

Use the 95 ft/lbs. The higher 135 ft/lbs is the old recommendation.....until they started getting even more warped rotors. I do it in 2 stages. Once at 50 ft/lbs and the other at 95 ft/lbs. That is what I did when I rotated the tires.

 

I use 100ft/lbs of torque. Use 95ft/lbs for the sebring.

 

Thanks

 

The spec is 130 +/-20 ft*lbs. Warped rotors was from them overheating, not from lug nut torque.
