MAKE SURE WHEN YOU TIGHTEN THE U-BOLT TO DO SO TO SPEC'D TORQUE, RIDE AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN RE TORQUE THEM, THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO LOOSEN UP, AND OVER TORQUEING THEM WILL BUST THE BLOCK.
SHOULD HAVE GOT THE PINION SHIMS TOO THEY WILL KEEP FROM WEARING OUT / BREAKING THE U-JOINT ON THE REAR OF THE DRIVE SHAFT.

don't quote me on this, but i think that the stock torque specs for the u-bolts are 70-85 ft. lbs.

Angle faces downward towards the front of the truck. Tighten them until you are scared to tighten anymore
