When I try to attain 55 ft. lbs. on 3 out of the 6 body mounts, the lower cushion gets distorted.
I even called Energy Suspensions to discuss.
I decided to reclean the bot threads and torque the 3 trouble makers to the 'point of no return'.
Thanks for the advice !
The Energy Suspension cushions are great.
However, I am having a difficult time torqueing 3 of the 6 body mount bolts to specs without "squishing" a the bottom cushions.
So...it is absolutely imperative to achieve 55 lbs. on every one ?
Should I tighten them until the "squish factor" reveals...
I just completed replacing all the body cushions on my 1996 K1500 extended cab.
First I loosened all 8 nuts, 3 on each side and the 2 under the radiator support.
Then using a 3 foot length of 4"x6" wood timber atop my jack, I carefully lifted up the driver's side of the cab.

I am installing an oem spare tire crossmember. There is a square hole cut into the one end.
Since I'm unsure of the orientation, does it matter whether this lands on the driver's side rear or passenger side forward ?
What is its purpose ?
Bottom line, will the crossmember fit only one way...
