Shane, I was just gonna chk my manual but you have done that, I would go with what manual says and then after driving for a bit recheck the torque. Also did you got proper u bolts that are "flattened" on the top. I have to do the same thing, and flattened ones are recommended, as well on the flattened part there may have grooves in them, so that they sit and stay on the axle housing.
