Tips for checking drive shaft bolts?

I had seen a recommendation on here to torque the drive shaft bolts every so often. Anyone have tips/tool recommendations for getting in there? I’m assuming I have to get all four wheels off the ground and put it in neutral so I can rotate the shaft? Thanks in advance.

 

leave it on park so the shaft doesn't spin on you. Roll under the truck with your favorite torque wrench and a 12mm socket with a short extension and have at it.

 

The front driveshaft spins freely in 2WD. Chock the front tires, jack up the rear axle, put the transmission in neutral to rotate the rear driveshaft. Use two wrenches, one on the stud head, so the driveshaft won't spin when you check the tightness of each nut. Once checked, you can use a torque stripe marker, so only a visual inspection is needed in subsequent years.

IMO it's more important to check the rear axle U-bolt tightness, because the leaf packs settle and can cause the U-bolts to lose preload.

 

Might need a torque wrench adapter for the size
