strut bolt torque value

I was looking over the instructions to install my Auto Spring 2" leveling kit. I noted that they call out the lower strut bolt torque to be 255 ftlbs. I checked my torque wrench and it only goes to 150 ftlbs.

Whole crap batman is this 255 value correct?

you know i think its crappy all these so called ford enginers in here wont help nobody with anything.
