What do i torque the shackle bolts to, and the bolts that go through the shackle on the spring?
I just put in RE 1.25" shackles.

The bolt that goes through the spring eye (lower bolt) should be torqued to 109 ft/lbs and the bolt that goes in to the frame (upper bolt) should be torqued to 85 ft/lbs. This is what I have done with mine. I asked this very question on the JU forum and someone replied with these results from the FSM.
