Torque advise
Went from a 150-250 and to get my travel trailer and truck level I need to lower my ball assembly on my weight distribution hitch. I can't remember the make of it as I've had it for years. Is there a standard torque spec for these bolts?thanks guys.

If you've had that hitch for years, as you say, you may want to consider replacing those bolts with new ones. Torquing bolts does cause "fatigue" and just for piece of mind, personally I would purchase new ones and then torque them to the specs they need to be. Make sure that you buy the exact same spec (or higher) rated bolts. Towing is an area I never take any shortcuts and I always have a tendency to "overkill" for some margin of error so to speak.
