Clayton Jam nuts

[RedundanT]

Pulled the trigger on the Clayton Overland 2.5" last night. Being the ducks in a row type I'm wanting to make sure I have the correct size crows foot for the jam nuts. I have large open end wrenches but don't want to guess at the torque. Thanks

I read through instructions once quickly a while back. Im sure they listed it but I remember 46mm or 1 13/16th was the jamb nut size.

This is for the 3.5 inch lift but should be the same.

Didn't even think about looking in the instructions. Some instructions are very lacking these days, Clayton quality for the win.

So instructions state the jam nuts are a couple sizes. One that is 1 and 7/16th and one that is 1 and 11/16th, lots of torques values but for the life of me I can't find the torque value for the jam nuts.

Cut the box end off of a combination wrench, put a 3ft length of pipe over the end and crank as hard as you can. Well over 200 ft/lbs.

Could have swore I saw 60 ft lbs.

I didn’t find a torque number. I just tightened as much as possible.

Our recommendation is always to tighten them as much as you possibly can, and then tighten them a little more!
