    Back Story:
    3" Ready lift along with diff drop was installed by a known off road shop about 2 weeks ago. Afterwords I started noticing wet spots in my driveway.

    Current:
    Today I crawled underneath and found some, 3 actually, bolts going inside the diff that seem to be loose. I grab a wrench and tightened them down.

    Does anyone know the torque specs on these three bolts? Pictures below:

    I was losing fluid after the shop installed everything. You can see in the second picture how much of a gap is between the bolt head and diff. If you torqued them by hand and that's fine, I should be good to go. I gave them a good amount of force with my wrench. Thanks

    Once you’re sure it’s not leaking anymore check the fill plug and make sure it’s topped off. Should be right at the threads.

    Awesome! Thanks for providing this. I'll make sure they are 114lbs today. Is this from a pdf I can purchase myself?
