Can anyone provide the bolt torque specs?
Should the suspension be loaded before torquing?

Since @EddieC decided to keep the specs a secret, I'll post them here for those who come along after us! LOL
Both the Upper and Lower control arm bolts at both ends get torqued to 74 foot pounds plus 55 degrees. Do this is with the suspension supporting the weight of the vehicle.

That's not what I found but don't want to vouch for the information so I didn't post it. I will say that was significantly more torque with no "plus".

If I were to use torque specs I'd never depend on ugga dugga.
Besides, I love my split beam torque wrench so I look for excuses to go get it.

Off the top of my head the uppers up front are 140 foot pounds. I seem to remember us just torquing the rears to 74 or so and calling it a day. We'll be replacing them again soon with new ones and hope to remember to report back and see if that setting held up over the years since we did it.
