Which Shackles?

[kivetts04dmax]

Anyone know the torque specs? I got my shackles on pretty easy but can't seem to find out how tight they need to be..I know they have to be loose enough to move though. I still have my 305/55/20 on the back and I have about 6.5" between the fender and the tire so should be a little more gap with the 305/50s

i do not know on specs, i got mine on this weekend and it was a pita, my other trucks were never this bad. I got mine fairly tight when drawing the nuts up.

As long as the truck is on the ground I've always just impacted them. I can look to see if there is a spec at work today

Spec says 70lbs.. Mine are way tighter than than though..

just FYI, you need to have the truck off its jacks before tightening the bolts up, otherwise the leaf spring and depending on what shackle bushing, will be in a bind at ride height which can cause premature wear and a little stiffer ride
