When to retighten rock sliders

[pkings]

Had dealer install ace rock sliders back in October. After how many miles should I retighten them or is it even necessary? Should there be any give at all when pulling with full force on them

There should be no give and after I replaced my rock sliders I checked them once at 500 miles just to make sure they where good

ACE says to torque all three bolts (each side) to 80-85 ft-lbs.

If you don't have a torque wrench, there is timely thread here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/torque-wrench.39856/

If you used loctite, the answer is never, unless you heat it to the appropriate temperature and liquify it first. Otherwise you're breaking the loctite seal.
