Rear U-bolt torque spec?

[midwestdenaliguy]

Many from this forum have ordered custom made grade 8 u-bolts from Boise Spring Works out of Boise Idaho. I believe they said they cost them around $45 shipped and they arrived pretty quickly. They have torqued them to 120 ft/lb with no issues.

 

Give them a call, (208) 377-1157.

It’s probably somewhere on this forum, but does anyone know the torque specs to the top and bottom shackle bolts?

These are the torque specs I used on my 2014

1500 when I installed my 2.5” kit. Worked great for me and have had no issues, just be sure to recheck and re-torque after you drive some and everything settles.

So... if I used the supplied MotoFab u bolts and torqued them to 120... even though spec is to 55 and then 130 degrees..... is that bad? is something horrible going to happen over time? 

 

I have a nearly perfect memory, and I know that when we did my buddy's truck in 2014 that the instructions to his kit said to torque to 120, so that is what I did on mine in 2020.

Torqued my motofab 2” rear lift block with new ubolts to 100 ft lb. Have driven 1500miles and recheck torque. Were still at 100ft lb.
