I can tell you right off the top of my head that lug nuts are 140 ft.lb.

I'd have to look the other stuff up...Is it 2 or 4wd?

Wow, the body mounting bolts are only 44 ft-lb? I guess i'm good with the 85 I've been going to :sigh: (it probably changes due to the longer bolts of a body lift... BDS claims 90 and PA claims 70 in their instructions)
