    I'm looking at changing my rear leaf packs out. I recently had one of the OEM leafs break. Anyone know of a source for torque specs on the U-bolts, i-bolts, and lower shock bolt?

    The job seems fairly straightforward, and I've read a bit about it. There wouldn't happen to be a DIY thread here specifically for the Tacomas would there?

    Thanks :)

    37 ft/lbs for the ubolt spec in the fsm is believed to be a typo, I too run 80.

    Upper shock nut is 16lbs...

    Torque the shackles and hangers at ride height, off the jack stands...

    U bolt is a typo at 37. Should be 73. I run about 85 to be sure, red locktite of course.
