I just bought some Rancho RSX's for my 2002 Screw 4x4 and I was wondering if there were any torque specifications needed when tightening down the bolts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

I believe its 75 flbs but i dont remember for sure, just snug them down with a breaker bar, drive it a hundred miles or so and snug em down again, youll be good to go.
Just make sure its not tighter then the smallest person that drives the truck, incase they need to change a tire, and put all their weight on the lug wrench

Actually I meant the bolst on the shocks, not the lug bolts..Thanks.

 

oh hahah, long night at work sorry. when i lowered my truck i didnt torque em to a certain number, just went until the bushing started to push out a little, and there was about an inch of thread on top of the shox.

Ahhh, that's the answer I was looking for! Thanks Patrick...

 

yup, sorry im a retard and read too fast on your original post. Hmm lets see.

Ah there it is
Front, you can make out the top of the bolt and about how far i ran it down


On the other side, i wasnt payin attention and ran it all the way until the bushing was about flat, and then i had to back it off almost half an inch

If you dont plan on pulling your bed, do your self a huge favor and make sure you have those fancy ratchet wrenches on hand, its like a closed wrench with a little ratcheting ring on it. I believe the size it 13/16s

Dont know the tq specs on the lower bolts, I just made sure they were decently tight. On the top, as said, just tighten them until the rubber mount starts to squeeze out past the metal cups.


13/16? Thats a wee bit large . The bottom bolts are 19mm I believe, and the top bolt is like 5/16" or something like that.

 

You can still see my wrench in the picture... You cant tell me you actually think that wrench is less than a third of an inch. Im pretty sure it was 13/16" but my memory has failed me just once before.

Actually i think the control arm bolts are the 13/16 and the others are 11/16 but idk. LOL im pretty tired and confused now.

I think I misunderstood what you were talking about. I thought you were referring to the top nut...what I get for reading posts in the AM

 

i just got them installed on my 01 screw, also 4x4.

mine have made a very nice difference...

 

Thanks for your help and responses guys!

 

yea no problem man, how did the install turn out? Do you like the ride quality now? alot stiffer i presume. Settles out quicker after hitting a bump, not like bump, bounce bounce bounce....
