quick question re: torque
 

I am installing new spring hangers on my cj7. What is the proper torque for
the spring hanger bolts. I found a thread where someone suggeted 105 ft
pounds, which seems way too much. I found a chevy truck lift kit
installation document that suggests 55-65 ft pounds for a spring hanger
with the same size bolts 7/16. Thanks.

Couldn't find the torque specific to the spring hanger bolts in the FSM, but
the FSM does say that 7/16" Grade 5 should be torqued to 49 Ft-lb for 14
TPI or 55 Ft-lb for 20 TPI.

Michael, thanks for the reply. I have the service manual too, and I
couldn't find the spec either. I went with 55 pounds which feels about
right. Of course the drivers side hanger would not fit without a little
persuasion from my bench grinder on the welded braces. Hmmm... nothing
ever seems to fit exactly right :)
