guys, new u bolts going in to '96 Tahoe 2dr 4x4.. How many ft lbs to torque new bolts?? Thanks!

81 ft. lbs, Most people just run them down even with a 1/2 impact.

Can you also tell me the torque specs for the 3 spring bolts? The forward bushing to the frame bushing and the rear 2 leaf spring shackle bolts?

I don't know the torque specs but do know the weight should be on the springs when tightened. I just tighten them with a 1/2 drive ratchet
