Leveling kit install torques?

[jsvtcobra]

Does anyone have access to front coilover removal and installation instructions with torque specs? I haven't found any really solid info with torque specs.

This is all that Level Up has this only:

This was the closest I found to a decent video. Is it really necessary to loosen the nut on the CV shaft and lower control arms to get the coilovers out? It seemed like it might have been an extra step. It also looked like they might not have torqued anything, but may have been the video edit.

My dealership isn't very confident about doing this cause they seem to alway damage something.

Keep it dirty has some videos on installing lift springs. The only torque spec he referenced was the lower strut bolt, 250 ft lbs, which is precisely how high my torque wrench goes. He says just get the other bolts” good and tight” with the exception of the sway bar end link, apparently he twisted one off. I pretty much followed his advice. I did see a torque spec for upper strut nut. I just hit it with my 3/8 impact and called it good. I know a lot of newer Superduty leveling kits use a spacer above stock spring, not sure how good that is about the Raptor coil overs, I went Eibach route on my Gen 2, will likely use RPG collar on the wife’s Gen 3. To my eye, the Gen 3 springs look thicker than the stock springs on a Gen 2 and the coils look to be closer together. I could be wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Their video says to use factory specs. There are a few oem torque spec sheets available through google. Or, play it safe and go 1,000,000 as stated above.

The lower shock bolt (no struts) torque spec is 406 lb-ft. The lower arm to frame bolts are 258 lb-ft. The lower arm to frame bolts need to be torqued with the arm at ride height. The lower shock bolt needs to be torqued with the weight of the truck on the suspension, which makes it difficult if you don’t have the truck on a lift with a torque multiplier.

Thanks for the spec sheet.
