Torque Specs
I will, hopefully, be installing my new shocks/springs this weekend, but I'm having trouble finding all the correct torque specs. I found quite a few threads on spring install, but none of them mention torque specs when re-installing. I'm surprised that no one has listed those.
Does anyone have that info? Didn't want to buy a Helms man. to find out.
Thanks

You might want to invest in some new one time use hardware before
starting the spring/shock/strut install.
The new upgraded lower strut mounting bolts with the finer threads at least.
And maybe some new upper strut mount bearings to get rid of the stock clunkers.

Also just found this DIY guide. It has a quite detailed step-by-step guide and at the bottom shows all the torque specs.
Here's the link if anyone needs it for future reference:
