2019 Bighorn 3870FB Wheel & Lug Nut Question
- Thread starter Crincic
- Start date
Most of the lug nuts used do have the aluminum cover,they are not solid
I do not have my unit available but believe the size is 13/16 th socket
Torque setting is 140 ft lbs if they are 9/16 th nuts and 120 ft lbs if they are 1/2 in.
the wheel nuts should have a stamp on them indicating the size

I tightend my by hand with a torque wrench and rounded one of them a while ago. A pain to get off. Required a special socket and a sledge hammer. Replaced them all with solid lug nuts. Problem solved.
We just got new tires and the tires shop says that their chart shows 140 pounds of torque for our 16 inch wheels. We came home and we’re going through some manuals checking on other things for the rig and are seeing conflicting information. Our Dexter manual says our 9/16 studs should have 140 pounds of torque, but our Lippert owners manual says they should be torqued to 120-130. Any thoughts on this?

I would do 140 ft-lbs. I’d rather be high than low, and I cannot imagine 10 ft-lbs will break anything.

Socket is 7 /8
It isn't the size of the wheel that matters it is the size of the stud.
