Not sure, but be sure to let us know how it goes.

With the snap on head stud adapter I bought, I would be confident in leaving all ac componets on.

The few times I have used it have been great, didn't have to dent in the cab to get the socket on the lower back nuts.

What if I pull fender liner and tire?

That may help but the problem I have run into is my torque wrench head is to big to get above the lower back stud. A lot of people hammer in the fire wall a little bit.
I'll see if I can find a pic.

Does it affect the torque value? I would guess no, but I'm just curious.

I asked my salesman if it did and he said no.
But in my mind it does with the increased leverage it applies.

Can't budge any of them at 240. Going to grab a gallon of coolant and go to the track. I need one slip from the new setup.

#no***sgiven. It'll go on stock tune after the track then I'll save up for the fun stuff.

That's odd. ARP's new torque value is 210. I wonder if you got a set of studs with the old lube. In that case the torque value is 265.

12.9 @ 7400lbs puts you right at 565 to the rear wheels.
