Read the instructions and I'm pretty sure they say it's important to torque them to the suggested value. HF has a 3/8 drive for like $20-30. Or maybe loan-a-tool. But if you work on your truck at all a torque wrench is good to have. I have 3.

Damn, I gotta check. Good enough for me.

Speaking from someone who has a 3/8" drive Torque Wrench from HF (I have a healthy mix of tools including HF, so I'm not being a snob either), don't waste your money. I've compared it against a 1/2" drive Craftsman and a 3/8" drive Tekton and it's inconsistent and inaccurate. Best bang for the buck IMO, is a Tekton.... and they can be had for a pretty decent deal....

Some updates. Ordered new clear headlights, signals,and fogs. Got them in and adjusted. Had a issue with the bracket screws loose causing the lenses to bounce but got it straightened out. Wanting to get new led lows and fogs to brighten things up and get the fleece 6 high mod plate thing. Grabbed some led 168 bulbs for the license plate and corner signal lights. Will delete the drl and splice in new turn signal sockets soon also. Ordered a Denali cluster from a member on here. Dropped it off at Scotts(scottyboy) house earlier. Also got a electric pressure washer on sale yesterday so maybe I'll get to clean it this week ba368e9dbd75ac75e7a94579b2020b90.jpgc554a349aa997fcb078afec5dbf72966.jpg59a95e0e7b3b03bbc7fb10f0724c1985.jpg8f4adbdcf1e38a8dfa13a2b2f4910a3d.jpg

I'm loving the way she sits. Not so much the ride. I'm really hoping these shocks make a big difference. Not too pleased that it's been 2 weeks since I ordered and I still don't have the shocks. But nothing I can do about that. Anyways. Here's more crappy pics
