snapped u bolts! how many lbs of torque for lower A arm u bolts?

replacing the u bolts that connect the a arms to the crossmember
I got to work today and noticed I was sagging a little - looked under the truck and noticed one of the bolts was snapped! and my a arm was only being held there by one u bolt.
( was on the freeway doing 80 just 5 minutes previously)
scary!

I had snapped one a few months back too. I actually got some 9/16" ubolts from ECE. I installed those because I don't think it's possible to snap them. You just have to drill out the holes a little. I would recommend them if you have disc brakes too.
