[QUOTE="Ski4Ever, post: 1468411, member: 31314"] All, I've done a bit of searching, and found [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/gen-2-torque-specs.73527/#post-1435219']this post[/URL] from [USER=6793]@sixshooter_45[/USER] which has the torque settings for removing the shocks. Here are a few related questions: [LIST=1] [*]Am I correct in reading 30Lb-Ft for the top bolts, and 406 Lb-Ft for the bottom bolt? I'm pretty sure the 406 is correct, but just making sure the 30 is the correct number for the top. [*]Actually, the 406 brings up a question...how do I torque something to that spec?
