Torque specs.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the spring shackle bolts. I read on another thread that the spring u-bolts were to be at 65 lbs, but did not notice a spec for the shackle bolts. I have several that appear to be loose. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think most are replacing the oem shackles as they are too thin and the nylon bushings are wearing out quickly. Not sure what the torque specs are for that, but if they are loose it is probably because they are wearing oblong holes in the shackles and it is definitely time to replace them.
