    I did a search and was unable to locate any torque specs for 1/2" U-bolts and shackle/spring bolts. The two manuals I have (non-factory of course) indicate there is a torque spec for these, but does not give it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    On my SuperLift 1" spring kit, the directions say the ubolts should
    be torqed to 86 ft/lbs's.

    1/2" is 50, 9/16" is 100. Personaly, I have 1/2" ubolts up front and don't really like them. I stripped them out when I was installing them and would never get them again.

    The place that custom bent/threaded mine who works for semi's too, said that for mine to go to 45lbs. Right now it's plus/minus 5 per side, as my torque wrench and the floor was too close, so I extended a line to the top with a sharpie, until I get a good wrench.
    And I think they're 9/16ths but could be 1/2
    I can't remember off the top of my head, too much is going in right now.
