Just finished installing my AAL but i do not know how much foot pounds of torque to tighten the bolts down to. Also the bolts on the shackles. could someone please post and help me out. Thanks.
 






According to my haynes manual:
Leaf spring u-bolt nut - 65 to 87 ft-lbs.
Rear Shackle to spring nut - 74 to 115 ft-lbs.
Spring to front bracket bolt - 50 to 68 ft-lbs.
spring shackle to rear bracket bolt - 74 to 114 ft-lbs.

Hope this helps
