Welcome back Charles. The Gen-Y Nomad 5th item # GY37ND mounting bolts need to be torqued to 160 ft-lbs.

If you are in need of replacement bolts, I recommend the The Installation Bolt Kit for 5th Wheel Pin Boxes and 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapters item # GY86FR. This kit comes with the 5/8" Grade 8 bolts you'll need to install the Gen-Y Nomad 5th item # GY37ND. It also comes with replacement washers and nuts.

Are you planning on using the extra space in your Ram's bed for anything like a tool box or extra gear now that you don't have to worry about a 5th wheel hitch?

I could not find the torque spec when I replaced mine. I did torque mine to 200 ft lbs. my trailer came with grade 5 bolts. I replaced them with grade 8. I have towed 2500 miles and did not have any issues or any bolts coming loose. Hope this helps.
