Hey guys,,,, I don't have a 2001 CTD service manual yet and was wondering if someone can look this up for me. I need the factory torque recommendations for the following:<br><br>Rear leaf spring hanger bolts (front and rear bolts):<br>Rear shakle bolt (the bolt that attaches the shackle to the leaf spring):<br>Rear U-bolts:<br><br>Check out my new rear springs. I still need to lift the front 3 more inches.<br><br>http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...024&amp;page=2

 

From Section 2 Suspension<br>The service manual calls the U-Bolts, Spring Clamp Bolts<br><br>Shock Absorber Lower Nut - 100<br>Shock Absorber Upper Nut - 100Ft. Lbs.<br>Spring Clamp Nuts 6,010-10,500GVW - 110Ft. Lbs.<br>Spring Clamp Nuts 11,000 GVW Cab-Chassis - 120Ft. Lbs.<br>Spring Front and Rear Eye and Shackle Bolt/Nut 6,010-6,400 - 120Ft. Lbs.<br>Spring Front and Rear Eye and Shackle Bolt/Nut 8,800-11,000GVW - 130Ft. Lbs.<br>Stabilizer Bar Retainer Nuts - 40Ft. Lbs.<br>Stabilizer Bar Link Ball Stud Nut - 50Ft. Lbs.<br>Stabilizer Bar Link Upper Nut - 50Ft. Lbs.<br>Stabilizer Bar Frame Bracket Nuts - 40Ft. Lbs.<br>Jounce Bumper Bolts - 45Ft. Lbs.<br><br>Have fun!

 

How did you solve the front driveline angle problem?<br><br>I have a serious vibration at 60mph+ with only 4.5&quot; lift.<br><br>It's not to angled going into the differential, but coming out of the transfer case, it's almost straight down (exageration for effect )<br><br><br>phox

The 7&quot; Skyjacker kit comes with a reindexing ring. Absolutely no vibs with the 7&quot; lift (actually it came out to be 8&quot; up front) and mine doesn't have the front axle disconnect so my front dshaft even spins all the time! <br><br>Now when I add the 3 inch coil spacers on top of the 7&quot; lift coils up front, I may be in for a rude awakening! I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best!!

 

That's going to be one very high truck. ;D<br><br>Are longer control arms in your plans as well, or do you already have adjustable ones you can lenghten to fit the extra 3 inches?<br><br>I think I might need another leaf in back, right now it's pretty dead on level, but I like the back a bit higher than the front, almost as much as it came stock.<br><br><br>I'm wondering why the 4.5 skyjacker didn't come with the transfer case reindexing thingamijiggy.<br>I've heard that standard trannys don't have a problem with the vibe on the 4.5&quot; (or 2 inch D25's either) just the slushbox guys, of which I am one.<br>Must not be that much of a problem, or you'd think they'd address it.<br><br><br>phox
