I have a 4-foot or so long 100-700# torque wrench that I'll use here in a few to torque it down to 406# on the frame-side. I'll get the truck on the ramps to have some more room to make it happen.

This. I just had the BDS track bar installed. Shop apparently went to 350# the first time, but between that torque and the bushing settling I got the poping and bolt movement. Just had it redone to 410# and so far so good.

I have the proper torque wrenches. I’m going to go to 406 and call it a day.

I’ll have my new favorite shop torque it down if I ever swap it. But for now I’m good to go with the stock.

I just rented a wrench at Autozone. This isn’t a blueprinted high rev engine needing exact torque specs.
I meant to say 3/4” torque wrench.

You can get an adapter to take it down to 1/2” off amazon or at harbor freight.
