Need Torque Value

Does anyone know what torque value is in foot pounds that Ford recommends for the 10mm bolts that attach the overload spring bumper brackets to the frame on a 2014 F250?

Thanks

The service DVD doesn't show any value. I would assume that if you tightened it snugly and not over tight it would be ok. There is no movement of the bumper even when compressed.

Thanks Larry,

I would think Ford would specify a bolt torque value for the bolts that attach the frame mounted brackets that the auxiliary overload springs make contact with when the truck is loaded. On a truck that comes from the factory with overloads the front frame mounted bracket is riveted to the frame and the rear bracket is bolted. To add overload springs to a truck you have to bolt both front and rear brackets to the frame and I doubt Ford would not have a torque specified for that.

Thanks

I suspect the bolts used to attach these brackets are nothing special. The truck would still be functional even if one broke off or came loose. I would find the torque value for the size both used to attach them to the frame and use that value when mounting them.
