Front leaf spring center bolt torque?

Hey folks. I'm putting 2 degree caster wedges under my front leaf springs and need to know what the 7/16" center bolt (pin) should be torqued to. I didn'tsee it in the tech folder but might have missed it.. I got caster wedges from WFO Concepts and new U bolts and center pins from Junior at ATS. Shout out to Junior and ATS! Outstanding customer service and very knowledgeable.
Thanks

Thanks for the center bolt torque spec. The front leaf spring U bolt torque spec is 99 ft lb according to ATS and my Haynes manual. I belive the 185 ft lb spec is for the rear leaf spring U bolts.
