So this is my first dodge and I bought it with a 5 inch lift on 35 km2's.

A few of the rear leaf springs on both sides are splitting, Ive flexed the rear wheels to take the pressure off and hit them back straight aligned but they are split again after awhile so I thought maybe tightening the u-bolts that are holding them but dont want to over tighten them?
is there a torque spec for them possibly?
or is there something else I can do to keep them from splitting?
any help is appreciated!
thanks!
