Anyone have Tq Specs for Deavers and HD Shackle install?

Anyone have Tq Specs for Deavers +3 and Camburg HD Shackle install? I want to make sure I tq these properly so they work as intended. I did a few searches and figured easier to post as I am sure someone has the info. Thanks

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.

Pretty sure its the same as the GEN1
136 on the shackle bolts
258 on the spring to frame

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.
