[aqua33]

Does anyone have the torque specs for the 2 differential 19mm bolts that connect to the front cross memeber???

Thanks.

Does this attachment help?

Torque

So is that PDF telling me the torque spec for the two bolts is 101 ft/lbs??

That's why I gave the whole diagram rather than guess at which bolts you were asking about.
Now that we know what you are looking at: Yes, the 2 long vertical bolts are 101.

Yes 101 lb-ft. is correct. Very important to get these torqued right as they serve a big job.

Kmvreter,

Thanks for the diagram it was a big help. Where did you find the diagrams?

I installed the differential 1" drop kit last night and torqued them to 101+ ft/lbs.

Thanks again.

dont forget they came thread locked from the factory, so you need to put on plenty blue loctite before you bolt it back on.

Loctite

Actually now that you mention it there was no sign of any thread lock on the factory bolts. They came off rather easily. The new bolts from ReadyLift come with the plastic/wax nuts are hold very well.
