torque spec. on shakles?
Shackle bolts and spring bolts (both ends of the spring have the same torque spec) show 120 - 150 lb ft for a monobeam front suspension in a 4x4 for the F250 and F350. U bolts are 85 - 120 lb ft.
These are for the 1995 trucks, spec may have changed in 9 years.
Sorry it is all I have.

The second number is for foot/pounds...
