Hi gang! Quick question? Installing LCA skids on the truck. Instructions say torque to 100 lbs? Is that correct for a 2021 Willys JT? Seems low?

I had the same issue. I asked rock hard because I was hearing clicking noises at 100 lb fts. The LCA was loose at the skid plate/axle. They said to go to factory specs. I went to 190 and it went away.

Awesome! I'll do the same I suppose, I got no play at 110?

@JTBurns this torque spec chart doesn't feel like it's for a Gladiator. Those RR LCA specs are really low. According to both Clayton and the OEM Mopar lifts instructions the LCA's are 185-190 ft/lbs for the JT. Attached are the screen shots from Clayton's lift kit and Mopar's. I personally use these as they coincide with one another... the mopar.com one is just hard to read. Clayton's instructions are very clear and concise.

@Oneshotlucky I'd recommend going to Clayton's website and pulling down their instructions.

Nice, thanks for clearing up my misinformation. I torqued my Rusty's LCA skids to 190 and then thought I did it way too tight after I saw my previously posted chart, so this makes me feel better too!
