[QUOTE="Deleted member 12951, post: 909190"] Thanks for the info. I was asking because honestly did not know. I was going by the torque specs here: [url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/torque-specs-11451/index3.html#post215684[/url] Doing some research, I did learn something. It's not really an exact torque. Its about getting the u-bolts to fit properly around the top plate. So if 98lb-ft actually achieves it, then you are golden, but I am going to check how that looks and tighten if not. I do not have stock leaf springs, top plate or u-bolts. [url]http://www.suspensionspecialists.com/techinfo/Ubolt_Information.pdf[/url] Looked at the ICON RXT Leaf springs that come with u-bolts, those are torqued to 145ft-lbs. Torque to 40ft-lbs when in the air and final when on the ground. Lesson learned, always check what you have and following the manufacture's recommendations. [/QUOTE]
