Tool to torque lower shock bolt

[Space Ghost]

i bought the 3/8" version of that torquing tool.. seems to work well for $30..

previous experiences with electronic torque wrenches arent great, especially at high torque numbers, but im not sure the cost can be justified for a multiplier unless there is other things it will be used on..

i'd probably call some local truck shops and see if they can re-torque after you put it back together, if you are super concerned about it, which i really never have been..i make it as tight as i can with a long 1/2" breaker bar with a jack handle..

they say that bolt is to be replaced every time also.. does anyone replace it?

i would think so out of peace of mind but the fox instructions say you reuse it.
if its a few bucks for both i may just get two new ones.


Also from old raptor guys thread which i just saw, he looks to be using this:

maybe its the nut that is to replaced every time.. its nylock so maybe thats what im thinking about, regardless, reused many times.

yeah prob if you reuse just put some blue loctite in place of the nylon, which iirc fox also says to do very vaguely
