Default Torque specs after level

Does anybody have a list of the torque specs for the upper ball joint, tie rod, sway bar, struts?

I wouldn't worry about the torque specs on that stuff. I have never once torqued any of those and I've done about 20 leveling/lift kits. Just make sure they are tight

Glad mine wasn't one of your 20.

That's fine, go on worrying about torquing non critical parts, don't bother me any, just trying to save the guy time , no need to dick around with a torque wrench on any of that. All of those parts use lock nuts , once they are tight they are tight. Show me once where any of those parts failed on an f150 because it wasn't "torqued". This coming from a guy with the name jizz? Lol. Do you even work on your own junk ?

You guys are correct, but a torque# is a good starting point, especially for us weekenders.

@tomjv, stop bumping old threads with useless posts. This one is two years old and you just bumped three other ones the same way.
