One question I have, I've read that I should torque the U-bolts nuts to 30 ft lbs. I only have a conventional torque wrench that I would normally put a socket on, but that won't fit between the chassis and the springs. Any suggestions?


I used a normal spanner, and did them up 'tight'. After a couple of weeks I checked them all over and gave them another tweak.
