Readylift Block U bracket Question

Okay...im tickled i got my readylift 4" blocks for my 2011 250. But im having a bit of a problem with the huge *** U bracket.....it's so long, i cant get my deepwell sockets on the to tighten them down and my torque wrench on em. Should i just uit em shorter with a hacksaw or grinder? And what spec should I torque them to?

Yep! Once you get them to the length nessecary cut them off at 1" or ^so past the pre tensioned nuts, the u-bolts should have come with a torque spec, if you can't find it I would check their website, a a last resort I would torque them to Ford specs they may be the same but the material could require more or less torque!
