Glad you got your kit. The bolts in question are for you to attach the "Z" bracket assemblies to the rubber springs. Your new "Z" bracket assemblies are to replace the "Z" brackets that are currently on your MOR/ryde equalizer rubber springs.

The assembly is two "Z"brackets with a collar welded between them and a brass bushing already pressed into place. This was necessary so that the new zerk bolt would have a place for the grease to go.

On bolt torque, you are tightening the lock nuts to pull the ears of the "Z" brackets against the rubber spring. Since they are lock nuts, backing off is not an issue, but be sure you completely close the gap.

On the zerk bolts, you are tightening against a shoulder, so the tension is not against the shackle. Sixty pounds of torque will do.
