Shackle to Leaf bolts, how tight?
Just finished replacing my leafs and shackles last night. I do know that the front leaf spring bolts need to be 109ftlb but what about the rear of the leaf that attaches to the shackle? Should it also be 109? I don't want to compress the bushing to where I damage it.
