    Depends on model year. Older models have different specs than later models. Check out this post. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...on#post1529743

    Tension depends on year and model .... You didn't provide that info .... But I did check your other posts .... for 2015 RT I ONLY measure it ON-THE-GROUND. , and like a little less tension than OEM spec.... so mine is around 160 lbs. measured in the middle of the belt..... At that tension my belt vibes dis-appeared ..... Mike
