What are the torque settings for the top four nuts and the bottom three in front strut assembly? The rear ones were squeaking from the trip and I'd to check the front ones, too, just in case :wink:

80ft/lbs is correct, but be careful - I broke one of the top bolts at around 70ft/lbs while installing the Frankenlift. Maybe it was just a bad bolt, but I backed everything off a bit. It was a $&^%# because it was welded to the top plate. I had to cut the broken bolt out and buy myself a new one.

Right after that happened I found lift install instructions that only called for 55ft/lbs I believe (looking for it now).

Edit: Yep, here they recommend 50ft/lbs...http://www.bds-suspension.com/pdfs/034201.pdf

I also noticed that Rusty's recommends 75ft/lbs so I would say it depends more on the bolt you're using and you probably don't have to worry as much about stock specs here. From my experience 80 is overkill.
