h2 wheel lug nut torque

Does anyone know what the H2 take off alum wheels require for lug nut torque? The only thing I could find on the net was instalation instructions for a rancho suspension lift for a h2. At the end it said "reinstall wheels and tighten lug nuts to 140foot lbs" That seams like way to much for alum. On my car at least alum was around 80foot lbs and steel was around 100. What do you guys think?

There is a big difference between cast and forged alluminum.

Cast doesn't have the weight capability for our trucks, or the H2, so I'd assume they are forged.

Pretty sure forged can handle the 140#.

Really tight. Plus a quarter turn.
