After having recently replaced a leaf spring, here's my notes for tandem 7000-lb axles
BTW, you are supposed to replace them as a pair on the same axle. I still need to replace the other one but want to wait until I get home.

LEAF SPRINGS
Dexter Manual Page 67
Torque
U bolts 70 ft lbs
Shackle bolt nuts 39-50 ft lbs

9/16" x 24/43 bolts with shoulder
7/16"-20 flange nut

LCI 126238 wet bolt individual
Nut 6-17 individual
Bushing set LCI279685 set of 8

6 leaf, 7000-lb axle leaf springs x two

The 3/8" bolts that hold the shear spring in place are torqued to 40 ft lbs. Or goot en tight.

Here's some useful info that I posted several years back about shear springs.
