where I work we torque everything to 120lb-ft

whatever you do dont use an impact. Well you can if you have torque sticks. Then you still need to torque the lugs after that. Also remember it is always best to use a regular socket and not an impact socket to torque and also use the smallest or no extension at all. This will ensure a good torque reading.

140 , on 2500hd 120 on 1/2 tons , extension wont make a diff it just increases the flex a crows foot will change the reading not an extention.
