Torque specs

[Rwood1]

Going to install a motofab 2” leveling kit in the morning on my RST does anyone know the torque specs on everything you take lose? Ex. Upper ball joint, tie rod, and anything else?

Ready lift says 65lbs for the upper ball joint.  That’s all I had to take off to do mine from their instructions. If I had to do it over, I would have went ahead and took everything else loose to make it easier. It was a nightmare trying to pry on and line up the level bolts.

Rwood1,

Did you ever get all of the torque specs you were looking for? I'm looking for the same... to do the same.

I posted them all at one point.  If you do a search you should be able to find them.

30 seconds with the Search Engine:

 

For the sway bar link you have to hold the bolt stationary while you thread the nut down to the base of the bolt.  Once the threaded nut reaches the base of the bolt, you can tighten it down to its specified torque spec without having to hold the bolt as well.
