I'm having a post-lift (400 miles) alignment done tomorrow morning and I want the factory torque spec for the guys at Midas. Does anyone have ft-lbs. recommendations for the following bolts?

upper strut plates (the bolts under airbox and battery)
upper ball joints
strut fork (2 bolts, I believe)
rear shock mounts (upper and lower)

Thanks in advance!

T.J.

Top plate/Upper strut nuts 80 ft/lbs
Upper ball joints 60 ft/lbs
Upper Strut fork (clevis) 100 ft/lbs
Lower strut fork (clevis) 110 ft/lbs

Rear upper shock mounts 80 ft/llbs
Rear lower shock mounts 85 ft/lbs


Keep in mind if you are using aftermarket rear shocks and the bushings are narrower than stock (i.e. Ranchos) that if you don't use washers you will crush your shock mounts when you torque them down.

Thanks a lot.

Man, I love this group!
