Rear Shock Torque Specs

Installing some RC V2 Monotubes on the rear of my 2020 screw...instructions say upper bolt torque to 35ftlbs, lower to 55ftlbs. Seems kinda low, I believe factory specs are 66ftlbs for lower and upper but not 100%. Anyone see an issue torquing to 66ftlbs?

11 lbs is hardly any difference to be concerned about. The torque is going to be applied to the tabs on the frame anyway.

It wasn’t the 55 I was worried about. More the 35 on the upper. Probably just crappy written directions. I’ll just throw 60ish on both....thanks for the reply!
