I'm installing new shocks this weekend. Anyone know what to torque the bolts to on the new shocks?

Not that it helps you but on our 2002 DSDP w/Spartan it's 175 ft lbs on the through bolts and 35 ft lbs on the lower bracket bolts on the front IFS.

Sorry Ted don't know. FYI: Have you looked at the access to your rear shocks? I started to change mine out back in March, but when I looked at the the rear shocks, I said forget it. My mechanic only charged me $129 to do it, so I had him do the install. He has an RV lift and pit.

Let us know how you like your FSD's. I installed them after reading glowing reviews, but only experienced a marginal improvement over the factory Sach's.
