moderately tight. not everything needs to be done to a torque setting. the nuts have nylon locks so they're unlikely to loosen.

Can confirm, just finished this and wow... so much easier to replace than any other driveshaft I've replaced in the past. I soaked the bolts in PB blaster the the night before, which made removal super easy. I'm sure that helped a bit. New driveshaft all greased up and runs like a dream.

I'm looking to replace my 2004's front driveshaft as well. Who is the go to these days for a proper replacement?
I'm leaning towards these guys... Coil Sprung ? Drive Shafts | GBR Utah
Will probably just get them to re-manufacture my front drive shaft since it's an 04. Also thinking about doing the roto-flex conversion for the rear as that is a common failure on these trucks.
