Helpful Expert Reply:
Trailer U-bolts will have different torque specs depending on their diameter. For your 2006 Montana 3650RK 5th wheel trailer, which will likely have 3" round axles (though you will want to verify), you will need either 3" Round Trailer U-Bolts 9/16" Diameter # SP01-080 or 1/2" Diameter # SP01-060.
The correct torque specs are:
- 1/2" bolts: 45 ft/lbs - 70 ft/lbs
- 9/16" bolts: 65 ft/lbs - 95 ft/lbs
- 5/8" bolts: 100 ft/lbs - 120 ft/lbs

Kyle, why do the torque specs have a range, ie... 9/16 inch bolts 65ft-lbs - 95ft-lbs? That's a big difference. How do we narrow down exactly what ft-lbs to torque to?
