Need to know how tight your U-Bolts should be? Simon discusses the torque settings for both 12mm and 14mm U-Bolts on leaf-sprung vehicles. Join the Pack at www.toughdog.com.au
Good tips. Overtightening the Ubolts might not be a good idea. Any tips on torque values for leaf spring bushings? Just changed the leafs out on my 2020 ranger and they didn't seem overly tight from the factory maybe around 30~40 ft/lbs.

The bushes in the eyes of our leaf springs are pressed into place, so there's no torque setting for those.
So is a 14mm u-bolt 14mm in diameter, or does it have a 14mm nut on the end?
14mm u-bolt has a M14 aka nominally 14mm diameter threads.
