Forgot loctite on ring gear bolts, detrimental?

Hey guys, i posted this question in the truck section before I noticed this section, it's hardly a "hardcore" tech question so I apologize if I shouldn'tve posted it here but if anybody can answer my question it's you guys

Anyways, I just put in a no slip locker in the rear of my 4x4 Tacoma and I didn't notice the instructions mentioning anything about loctite or I might've overlooked it but at any rate, I have forgotten to put loctite on the ring gear bolts I did torque the bolts well with an impact gun though. I'm hoping it's not detrimental but if I have to, I guess I'll take it apart and add loctite.

Advice please

I would use red loctite. I'd also torque the bolts to the listed spec with a torque wrench. Had a 79 4x4-12" total lift, 5.79 gears, True Trac in the rear, and 39.5-15 Swampers. But I sold it

When properly torqued the bolt threads stretch which is why you shouldn't reuse them and why a loctite type bonder is applied.

Thats only the case when they do not return to their original length.
