    Replacing the front bushings on my rear leaf springs this weekend.
    Have OME Dakar medium leafs and the OME bushing replacements.

    I r6CFF64D8-AB67-4753-9955-0C4C7BF3A527.jpg ead that you need to tighten part way, lower the truck on the ground and then tighten/torque when the bushings are under load. So the bushings don’t twist unnaturally, if you were to tighten all the way with truck jacked up. Just checking to make sure this is correct.

    Also checking torque setting for front leaf bolt. The diagram below shows 120 but wanted to double check before doing.

    Thanks for any help!

    Yes, that procedure is correct however; Torque is 89 ft/lbs:
