I was doing some rust maintenance in the rear, painted the axle, removed the 9/16" u bolts and brackets, blasted and powder coated them and installed new 5/8" skyjacker u bolts. Torqued in a criss cross pattern according to the link below, snug, then 40 ft-lbs, then 80, then 110. How much do these bolts stretch? Once I hit final torque on the first 2 nuts, the next 2 nuts hit torque sooner than the first 2. Then when I checked the torque on all the nuts they turned a little more before the wrench clicked. Is this normal, it was my first time doing u bolts.
