Installing 3in Fabtech lift, can't find torque specs.

[Bacardiac]

Hey, do any of you guys know where I can find torque specs for all the control arms/ trac bars? I'm putting core 4x4 control arms and trac bars on. I feel like an idiot but I can't find all of the torque specs. I was also wondering if anyone has the lengths for adjustable control arms and trac bar for a 3in lift. Core 4x4 has the lengths for 2.5in lift and 3.5in lift, but nothing between.

Yeah this should cover it. Also could look under suspension, steering threads. There's a sticky somewhere.

Thanks, that helped a lot!!! I also got the lengths from core 4x4, they just emailed them to me after asking for them.

LCA both axle and frame is 190lbs! I know because I just installed them yesterday and I couldn't do it, even with my large torque wrench! I've gotten weaker in my old age lol

UCA are 80lbs on axle and frame and TB to frame and axle is 110lbs.

Thanks for the information. Do you use the factory bolts or buy new ones? I'll be doing this next week.

Update, Fabtech instructions are complete crap. Honestly the pictures don't even help, except for disconnecting the brake lines support screws. The shocks have almost no instructions. I'm very annoyed at how very little they took on instructions. Also maybe add some bags and separate the screws better, or label them!!!!! But after 3.5 hours passenger side is done ugh🫠.FML

Well it's done. Honestly I learned another putting this together. For one, I would definitely use a lift. Fabtech lift is nice, but as I previously stated the instruction were bad. Big guessing game and youtube. They didn't even have the torque specs on the sheets, i had to contact them. Same with core 4x4, they should just put torque specs in the box. I'm gonna retorque next week. All that was out for alignment was the toe -1.47 on both sides. But core 4x4 measurements almost got me right on the dot. Again I had to contact them, Probably should have put it in the box.
