Final Torque on LBJ bolts

No. Dont see anyone having this issue. Its tapered dont see how it would spin. Lower control arms need the weight on them before tightened not the ball joint. Why do people feel the NEED to over analysis this, bc they can fail catastrophicly?

I just encountered this issue yesterday :) I put the weight of the vehicle on the ground with the LBJ stud in the LCA. The weight on the LBJ was not enough to prevent the LBJ from spinning while I tightened the castle nut. I needed to lift the weight of the vehicle from under the LCA. That was the only way to seat the LBJ stud firmly enough to prevent it from spinning, so I could torque it fully.

I'm sure it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it can happen and it can prevent fully torquing the LBJ castle nut. That wouldn't be good.
