    Just 1.25 inch spacers so far
    I’m putting my rear suspension back together on my 2003 Tacoma. The torque specs I found are 115 ft lbs for the front mount and 67 ft lbs for the rear shackles. Also 90 ft lbs for the U-bolts and 53 ft lbs for the shock mounts. Just wondering are all these torque specs correct? And should I use threadlocker on any of the bolts?

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Close enough !

    Thread Locker your call .I have never torqued any of the bolts since in the seventies.

    Here all that hardware gets cut off so I don`t never seize any of the bolts but the shocks.

    Shackle: 67 ft lbs
    U Bolts: 90 ft lbs
    Shocks: 53 ft lbs (I'd suggest being careful on this one- stripping these would suck)

    I use (a very small dab) anti-seize on all of these.
