Thinking about actually using our camper soon and my mental checklist includes making sure my lug nuts are tight enough since I put the wheels on with a socket wrench. What do you usually torque them to?

Is a socket wrench not tight enough?? I just put my new tires and rims on and only used a socket wrench.

I usually do around 90lbs for steel wheels and lug nuts.

I don't know what trailer specs are, but I just looked up my truck and it specifies 150 ft-lbs.

'Pends on the size of the nuts. I usually tighten by hand not impact, as tight as I feel comfortable with. If the torque wrench is available, I think 7/16 is 75 ft/lbs. and 1/2" is 90. Go to your local tire shop and see what they say.
