I think that the bolts that Manny supplies with his 1 ton kits are highest
known grade, with special lockwashers. We have been using blue threadlocker
with squeaky clean threads and torquing to 55 foot pounds. BUT, THE DRIVERS
SIDE BOLTS PARTICULARLY NEED TO BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED after break in
miles. I have found quite a few on both the 1 tons and OEM front ends that
loosen a bit after some mileage.
We have experienced owners losing all the bolts on the drivers
sidewhen shops unfamiliar with front wheel drive systems have worked on
them.
Check those bolts regularly.
