I purchased an axle and you bolts from you guys but have a question regarding if I need to put locktite on the nuts in addition to torqueing them to specs?

Though it is not completely necessary to use something like Loctite's Threadlocker # LT37420, there wouldn't be any adverse affects either. Most U-Bolt kits do come with lock nuts making them more secure than standard nuts, but you can definitely apply # LT37420 to completely secure their purchase on the U-Bolts.
