U-Bolt Torque?

I added a 4 inch lift and installed new u-bolts, was curious to how much torque should they be? I torqued them to 80 foot pounds but im thinking they should be more.

I will post some pictures soon of the work so everyone can see.

Thanks

Thanks, I will have to torque the higher. I really wonder how much the stretch, I guess I will find out when I torque them again after some driving.

I allways just hammer them on with a 1/2in impact.
