Unhappy torque question

i want to put a leveling kit on my 2004 fx4 and i was looking at the oem specs and for the front lower shock bolt/nut it has to be torque at 351 ft-lb the problem is i dont have a torque wrench that goes that high and plus to get a torque wrench that gets that high is very expensive any suggestions would be helpful...then i wuz thinking what if i just tighten the bolt down until that sucker doesnt turn anymore...?

i think you read something wrong. i don't think you would be able to torque that nut that high without the bolt snapping. i could be wrong.

just tighten the nut down hard and you'll be fine.
