The Dodge manual I have says to install the inner nut until it is tight, then back off the nut 1/6 of a turn. Then install the lock ring. It says to tighten the outer nut "securely". I think 100 ft-lbs is excessive for either nut.
I rotate the wheel while tightening the inner nut until significant resistance is felt on the nut, then back it off 1/6 turn. I tighten the outer nut "securely" :)
