How tight? Leaf Spring Bolts.

[MikeDobbs]

I just installed a new axle, leaf springs, and hubs on my trailer. All the leaf spring bolts have lock nuts. My question is, how tight should I make the nuts on the leaf spring bolts?
Since they're lock nuts, I was thinking leaving them just short of tight would allow for better movement in the suspension.

Should I tighten them all the way down, or just enough to remove excessive play from the system, but still allow some movement?

Thanks in advance

You tighten them to the sleeve

The plastic bushing is what moves
