I am installing a 3in RC series II AAL lift tomorrow and 3/4in spacers and 3/4in shackles. and i was wondering what should be torqued down and at how much? Like the shocks, spacers, shackles, lower control arms?

Thanks

Good an tight, then check after about 50 miles an make sure everything is still tight, and you should be good to go. Torque wrenches can be overrated. If you have one, just go by whats in the owners manual for stock

ok well i found this just as of now and i think i rather torque down. except the rear shackles at the frame just tighten them down real tight. lol

1) I've been accumulating FSM torque specs on my site - check the Tech Section. If it's not there, I either haven't gotten the FSM yet, or I have it and haven't pulled out the information.

2) When torquing down suspension fasteners, do so with the vehicle on the ground and at rest. Tighten them to "finger tight or so" in the air (shouldn't be more than 10-15 pound-feet,) then set it on the ground. Give all four corners a couple of sharp bounces to encourage the vehicle to settle, then torque the fasteners to spec. Otherwise, you run a very high risk of premature bushing failure.
