All I got so far from Deavers is 92 lbs on the axle u bolts and

50-60 lbs on the shackle bolt with some lock tight, we want the shackle to move well.

Thanks Rick. I found these specs in a youtube video.

Axel U bolts Tq to 75 then to 100 ft lbs.
Front bolt 250 ft lb
Rear 136 ft lbs on both.

Re tq after 500 miles.

Yeah, I saw that video too. Don’t think 8lb is going to make much difference when you are near 250.

U-bolts are typically done torque-to-yield. They actually stretch around the leafs so if you are finding 100ft/lbs just make sure they do stretch.

Because of the design of them stretching that is why they say to not re-use u-bolts.
