Same here. I use a half inch ratchet, and bow up on it. I have never had a problem with that method. I'm sure there is a torque spec, and you might even be more comfortable using that though,
Hell I slid under the car and used an 18" breaker bar to tighten them as much as possible. I was freaking doing chin-ups on that thing. Now I wouldn't recommend this method if your particularly large man, but for me it worked well for the limited amount of space I had to get leverage.
Tight is fine, what ever you can pull on a standard 3/8" ratchet. it doesnt have to be crazy tight...how often have you ever had a bolt loosen off by it self ????, proably never, so there is no need to "give er" as tight as you can.
