Expert Reply:
Hey Joseph. Lug nut torque for 7,000 lbs axles depends on a few factors like wheel size and stud size.
If your aluminum wheels are 15" or 16" with 1/2" studs it'll be 90-100 ft.-lb
For aluminum wheels that are 16" with 9/16" stubs it'll be 120-140 ft.-lb
For aluminum wheels that are 17.5" with 9/16" stubs it'll be 130-150 ft.-lb
For aluminum wheels that are 17.5" with 5/8" stubs it'll be 140-160 ft.-lb
