Leveling Kit Question. What Do I Torque The Bolts To?

[Black.is]

When I install my leveling kit, what should I torque the bolts to that attach the bottom of the strut to the lower control arm? Thanks

The following is a cut/paste job from the GM Wiki - http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...icle&id=410

 

UPPER BALL JOINT NUT-37 lb.ft.

OUTER TIE ROD (STEERING LINKAGE) END NUT-44 lb.ft.

UPPER STRUT MOUNT NUT-37 lb.ft.

LOWER STRUT MOUNT NUT-37 lb.ft.

SWAY BAR END LINK NUT-17 lb.ft.

WHEEL LUG NUT-140 lb.ft.

 

This is for the rough country leveling kit, but I'd make a safe bet that the torque values would be the same for any other leveling kit.

I think those are the stock torque specs, which should be fine for a leveling kit.

If those are the torque specs, then I overtightened mine to beat hell

My "clicker" torque wrench barely clicks at 40 foot pounds, so I just estimate it.
