Hey Poches, happy to help!

The torque spec for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Hitch #DT73RR is 50 lb-ft for all the bolts that the hitch comes with. You can also find this listed in step 8 of the installation instructions if you want to double-check while installing.

What are you planning to use the hitch for?
