Default 2015 axle nut torque?

I did a search and came up with 2 different torque numbers for the front axle nut torque. a 185ft/lbs and 132ft/lbs starting torque rotate 5-10 times then torque to final 263 ftlbs... big difference in numbers... My truck is a 2015 ram 1500 4x4 I have bilsteins set at 2.8 and with a block in the back cant remeber the size but it sits level wth no rake.The truck is sitting on 35's with a 0 offset rim no rubbing or issues.and im doing the lower ball joints and installing Zone UCA's looking for the proper torque spec

the 185 should be for independent front suspension and the 132, rotate and 263 is for coil and link front suspension.

use blue locktite if you are not installing a new axle nut.
