    Howdy, I am trying to install some sumo springs on my 22 TRD offroad Tacoma.
    I wanted to know what the torque specs were for the u bolts.
    Been trying to look online some says its 52 ft-lb Others say its 73 ft-lb or 40.
    Not sure what it is.

    Also can you lift a Tacoma from the back where you install the tow hook ?

    Also i have to Lift the truck to remove the u bolts.

    I lift from the rear axle placing stands at the rear of the frame then let the axle down. Easiest/quickest for me to lift once and get both sides up at the same time

    You don't need to lift anything to install the Sumosprings in the back. If you have a creeper or don't mind laying down you can loosen the U-bolts swap out your bump stops and tighten everything back up.
