Depends on the style of nut. You should put all the truck's details into your signature so we can find them when we want to answer you. Click this & read the caption:

tighten until the wheel drags, then back off 1/8th to a 1/4th turn and pin the nut with the lock/pin.

should be fine, I would be careful overtightening things, as many of the long 4x4 hubs tend to stretch and the threads are not 100% along that length.
