I just installed a set on my 2011 JKU Sport last weekend. The instructions that come from Spidertrax says 80-90 lbs. I torqued mine to 90 lbs.

I did mine at 100lbs and they've been fine for a long time. I read in a thread a long time ago that's what the actual owner of the company torques his to.

I also used 90ft.lbs on mine, based on the instructions that came with it. Also used the red "thingy" they sent with it.

Running mine @ 100lbs with red loctite on the threads holding the spacer to the hub. Make sure the hub and spacer are clean where they mate together to get a good seat. Clean the threads with brakekleen or alcohol (dont use BEER) and dry before putting on a couple of drops of loctite. Do not use threadlocker on the wheel studs.
