Not sure on the 1 ton. I bet if you post the question, one of these guys will know.

Couldn’t agree more Mike. Real confusing. I got the nuts as tight as I could with a 1/2” ratchet. I then used a 3’ long 3/4” torque wrench to check the torque. I was able to get them tight enough with the 1/2” ratchet. I don’t think they are going anywhere.
