level kit torque question

I'm wanting to order a 2 1/2" leveling kit but am kind of worried about the torque specs.

Hell Bent Steel Instruction PDF

Can somebody reassure me that this can be done? I wouldn't ask but I've searched torque and level/leveling and couldn't find anything.

What, the 350 lb. ft.? That's what the service manual calls for.

Yeah, can the 351 ft-lbs be done with standard tools or do I need something else?

Lower Strut Bolt

I had a buddy with an old dial style torque wrench that was about 5 foot long get under mine and re-torque it. But prior to him doing that for me, I just used the "star" method.

I had evidentally got it to around 148 to 150 with just 1/2" sockets and ratchet.
