I think e problem might be that I am not jacking up my car to tighten the nuts, and that it is keeping me from getting them 100% tight.

Any other thoughts.

FRED, use BLUE LOCTITE on your studs (removable). Red loctite is permanent. You can also get a torque stick if your using an air or electric impact wrench. The most common torque is 100 ft. lbs. I have a 100 ft.lb. one . It is light blue in color.
