    Forgive me if it's already posted but I cannot find it.
    Need the torque spec on the UCA nut where it bolts to the frame. Shock mount area.

    TIA

    Really god damn tight!!!

    I don’t know how you’ll get a torque wrench in there, as the space just rearward of the fastener is pretty limited. I used a pair of end wrenches jockeyed together to get the leverage I felt was appropriate…

    So is it impossible to get a torque wrench on this bolt? Especially since you have to tighten it with the wheel/tire installed when the truck is under its own weight? Debating ordering one of those $45 ratcheting wrenches linked above but kinda hate to do that for this one aspect of the overall job.

    I don’t believe you’ll be able to use any type of standard torque wrench.

    You can put the weight of the truck on a jackstand or blocks under the LCA though, and then tighten it up. That’ll keep the wheel and tire out of your way.

    It’s tight. Really tight. 4 ugga-dugga kinda tight. Stop before you flip the truck over!
