Body Mount Torque Spec?

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for body mounts? I am installing a 2" from Wild Horses and the instructions say "torque to specifications," but it doesn't give the number. I also found a couple of tech articles in various places, and they all say torque to spec without giving the spec. I searched this forum, the internet, and my Chilton's manual, but couldn't find anything

Thanks!

I don't know what spec is either but they come built so you can't over tighten them. I put some serious elbow grease on mine plus those nylon lock nuts work very well. I've had no prblems.

Open your Chilton and get the torque spec for a rocker arm stud. That will get you pretty close. On mine I just dialed my elbow in to about 18 ft lbs. Then when I felt my wrist pop I called it good.
