How exactly do you get a torque wrench onto a nut with a fuel line anyway? Use the "just tight enough method". I did have a line come loose at injector #6 at the head and lost about 30 gallons of fuel in a matter of 50 miles. Was spraying onto and being absorbed by the firewall insulation and then dripping onto ground. But I checked the others and found a few more that took a little turn to get them snug. And it took 90k miles to come loose as I had never touched them before. Everything was still stock. There is also a line that connects straight into the back of the head that is a real treat to try and get to, if you need a good laugh at yourself get a wrench on there and snug it up!
My girlfriend thought I was trying to have sex with my truck with the grunting and my position.

Good ol' crow toes.
A long time ago the old shop mechanic asked me if I had crows feet? I said of course. He then asked me where I got shoes to fit them.
I know... stupid

Back on topic. Check the ends of your connector tubes too. When I swapped in the new springs, I found one deformed tube. 26.99 at cummins.
I put new o rings on the others just for the heck of it.
