Default Post Level Kit Retorque

Any suggestion on which bolts / nuts need to be retorqued after about 1000 miles on a spacer style level kit?

Basically every bolt and nut that was touched. They should be paint marked.

There is more than one way to install the kit. But if you hit the 3 top hat nuts on the spring perch, the 3 that attach the coil over to the spacer, the sway bar links, tie rod to spindle nuts, upper ball joint nut (probably overkill since I believe it has a cotter key) and (possibly) the lower shock eye bolt/nut you should have your bases covered.

I also doubt you have any paint marks. From Ford or the shop that installed the kit.
