    I know I have seen the numbers somewhere here before, but can't seem to locate them now.

    I have the rear seat risers and Sumo Springs to install.

    On the seat risers, what is the thread/pitch (?) on the bolts and what would the torque value be on them using an inch longer bolt to adjust for the one inch spacers?

    What is the torque value for the u-bolts on the rear axle?

    Thanks

    u-bolt spec is 52flbs torqued evenly so the same amount of thread is showing past the each nut.
    Although after market u-bolts tend to stretch more than factory ones, so I would go to 60flbs and recheck it multiple times, once at 100, 1000, 3000 miles after install.

    52lbs seems low on the ubolts. I believe spec is 73lb. I’ve seen on here before.
