    I think its 95ft lbs,I just set my torque wrench to 80ft lbs,then went pass that by feel, also put ;lock tight on everything,
    Make sure to torque it down when the trucks on the floor under load,sung it when on lift,then lock it down when on the floor if that makes since..

    Rides nice!
    I didn't realize how poor my rear suspension was till I drove it after the upgrade, sometimes we do the front suspension and tend to neglect the rear suspension.Just remember,when you do the leafs springs,you need extended brake lines 4" (40.00) and 5.25' bump stops too(175.00)and BPV Bracket ..That's where I went wrong..heres the link where I ordered my bumps

    Hope that helps
