RAS Install Help

I am currently installing the RAS on my 05 EX and I wanted to verify that the torque on the U-bolt nuts is 185 Ft lbs. Thank you in advance!!

It's way up there. I remember getting a spec from chevy for an install that was 225ft-lbs. You need a pretty good torque wrench to do them, but tight with a breaker bar and 2' or so of pipe usually holds well.

Thank you for the help!! I completed the install yesterday and I also adjusted the steering box. Wife is very happy now with the improvements. Now I need to hook up the toy hauler and really try it out.
