    Yo guys, I'm looking to retorque my lift on my own. Does anyone know where to find specific torque settings for Rough Country 3 inch strut/shock suspension lift? I've got pro comp UPC's too. Never done it before, but I really want to tighten it myself. Any help?

    You mentioned Rough Country... buckle up, this place is classist as hell. They need to validate how much money they blew on whatever brand product because it will make them feel ok about the laughable lift they put on for no good reason.

    Ok, now that that's out of the way, the factory service manual is floating around here somewhere on a Google docs file, the torques are all applicable and remember, you should run then down them by hand and let the truck down off the jacks so that the bushings are torqued off at ride height. Anything less will cause binding and premature wear. Somewhere in my post history is a link. I'll look but you might find it before I do.

    I've run high-dollar and I've run rough country stuff. The detail to which the job is done determines the outcome far more than the brand on the parts. I'll be surprised if I dont get banned for this post, though those of us who really build stuff know it's true.

    Edit: somewhere in this thread, above or below my post, i'm not sure. Time to hang out with wife and son, happy link hunting. If you get stuck, PM me, I'll find the info in the morning or if I can't sleep tonight.

    Edit 2: I can't praise you highly enough for wanting to torque things off correctly. Grab a paint marker for underbody and UV pen/light for the visible areas if you want to get on our level. Also nice for forgetful/adhd people and those with toddlers, like me. Did I torque that off? Yellow/white/UV marked, ok, we're good, carry on.
