Leveling kit install
So I just got my leveling kit in the mail and I'm going to do the install this weekend. I have read a lot about the process of doing the install from other posts. Doesn't sound to hard as long as I take my time. The only thing is, I haven't been able to find what the torque specs are for the suspension nuts when Ido the reassembly.
Does any one know what the torque should be on these nuts (Upper ball joint nut, upper sway bar nut, lower shock nut and upper shock nuts.
Thanks

Auburn Grad 07'
Just installed a 2" AS leveling kit on my buddy's 08' a few weeks ago. The instructions that came with it were pretty thorough with torque specs included (starting at step 7 with reassembly).

As for the 225 ft-lbs on the lower strut bolt, we wound up just hitting it with an impact wrench to a "moderate" but "safe" torque (rather subjective I reckon ). We drove it straight from there to the dealer to have the alignment done and asked them to torque them down to the final correct (and measured) torque in the process.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Hey fowlelb,
Thanks, that helps a lot. The directions in my kit are pretty much the say write up but minus the torque specs. Not sure why they didn't include it but who knows.
THanks again.
