OME Suspension Torque Specs???

[scottcb]

Looking for help to find the torque specs for OME suspension. I've researched and seen conflicting messages. Some say go with the Specs from the FSM and others say that those are not accurate, too much torque for the OME setup. Thoughts? If you have them, please share.

U bolts go with factory torque specs. Using anti-inversion or greasable shackles? I didn't know they
had any.

INSTRUCTIONS

Old Man Emu parts do not come with instruction guides for installation. Old Man Emu parts are engineered and designed with a different end goal than most other manufacturers. Our specifications are well within the factory geometry, which allows them to be installed just as the Original Equipment (OE) parts as per the vehicle’s factory service manual. If you do not have access the factory manual, we would suggest picking up a Haynes or Chilton’s manual. They contain all the necessary information such as bolt torque and proper leaf and coil spring procedures.

So factory specs. My rule of thumb when tightening the nuts on the greasable shackles is do not overtighten. Look back at
them in a week of service and check tightening and fitment. My pet peeve is grease nipples that get crap in them and they
don't seal when greased, PITA!

When I brought my ome setup, it came with sheets that had their torque specs for the shackle and pin hardware. I'm not sure if those numbers were different then toyota specs or not. I'll see if I can find the sheet, i'm pretty sure I saved them.

My kit from cruiser outfitters didn't have torque specs for u-bolts, but consensus is 80 to 100 ft/lbs. Attached is for greasable shackles:
