Hey guys, I put my AAL's on yesterday and the instructions and my manual don't say what the u-bolts or leaf-eye bolts need to be torqued to. It's an 05 4x4. My search turned up nothing.....

Thanks,
Myren

 

Don't know if this will help cause i have no idea what AAL's are- Sorry, best I could come up with. May not even pertain to what you need.

Double post-crap

 

AAL's are add-a-leaf. Basically it's a leaf spring that is put in between the smallest and next largest leaf to give a little lift and help with being overloaded. And yes, it is helpful. Many thanks!

 

I'm not sure...but who is that girl in your signature?

 

I searched my manual and couldn't find the torque specs for the leaf-eye bolts for the 05 or the 04 for that matter.

 

Thanks again wrench007! I torqued the u-bolts down and just tightened up the eye bolts when I had the truck back on the ground. I'll re-check in a couple hundred miles, but I don't think that they play that much of a role in keeping everything together.

That's the girl robot I'm working on.......
