I haven't taken mine apart yet. If there is no shoulder on the bolt and you are just squeezing the rubber I'd say just get them tight. If there is a shoulder on the bolt and you are squeezing metal-to-metal, use the correct torque for the thread size.

I tightened mine until the bolt bottomed out on the bushing.

cab mounts

My F1 cab is currently sitting 1/2" above the frame at the front mount without bushing installed; is this the normal height ?
