I just found it. My apologies. 45 ft lbs with blue loctite, at least from Dana Spicer.

Damn my snap on torque wrench won't even go that low. Ehhh what's 10 ft lbs. I could get there with just a wrench.

The common sense good n tight method is fine for this. This isn’t cylinder heads.

I have the Clayton 3.5 Overland on mine, and it drives smoothly. I added the Rock Jock Spacer and now I have vibrations in the Driveline. I took it off and it rides smooth again. ????

You’d need to look at pinion angles before and after. There’s lots of variables to look at. Driveshaft type and installation, control arm lengths, etc.

I just bought a 4-pack of aluminum bar stock, 1 x 2 x 8 inch. Will be a 1-inch drop for the carrier bearing at around $8.25 each (not including hardware).

I got two M10 x 1.5 x 45mm class 10.9 zinc-plated flange bolts boltdepot.com. Shipping was like 80% of the cost here.

Still putting the lift together, but I'll update once I get it done. Figure this might encourage others to DIY this dead-simple piece.

(P.S. I'll have three bars leftover if anyone needs. I'll put it in the marketplace).

EDIT: As a follow up, I drilled two 7/16-inch holes, 6.62-inch (6-5/8") CL-to-CL. The bar stock I purchased came in at 7.875"", which is actually ideal so I don't have to trim much, if at all. We'll see if it sits flush on the slightly angled surface of the crossmember or if I'll have to grind a small bevel on each side. For reference, the Rock Jock version is 7.75".

Excellent work. If only I’d have thought of that 4 years ago. Dammit. Smart people annoy.
