Is there a proper torque that the body mount bolts need to be? I am installing new ones and I was just wondering if I crank them down as hard as I can or to a certain torque. Thanks for the advice.

I did mine nice and snug, tight but not as tight as you can, I've had no issues

Same here. Just snug them down and they should be fine

Also there is a slot in the frame just under where the seat platform sits and it will swallow your bolts if your not careful. Put masking tape or duct tape over it.
