Hey all,

Looking at doing the Clevis lift tomorrow and get conflicting statements on the the torque for the Clevis bolt. I've seen 50-75-100.

Can anybody confirm what it is exactly?

Thanks,
Ryan

I torque everything I can get a torque wrench on to 100ft lbs besides the ball joints. Torque those to 60ft lbs.

Sway bar, upper and lower clevis bolts, rear shock bolts, wheel lugs, all 100 ft lbs.

Follow that guide, it will tell you whats what.

Depends on the version of clevis you have. I replaced the right front on my 2002 - the part# had a revision letter and a down sized bolt. Torque it to 100 ft lbs and it will surely break
