Probably posted before but can’t find it. What are the torque specs for front and rear shocks upper and lower bolts/nuts?

Just torqued the front at 20 (range 15-30). Here’s the page out of the manual.

Great resource, thanks!
But while the shock specs look right, just look at those spcs for the steering stuff!
A "gearbox to frame" torque of only 12 to 16? A steering stabilizer bracket to frame of only 15-25? (maybe that one is not too far out of line) And the shock to bracket mounting of 60 to 80!!!!!
Methinks they have a couple of those in the wrong category and bass-ackwards.

They might… I like the Econoline at 100-250 range. Basically the farmer twist.

Here’s the book I’m pulling it from.
