Axle Shaft / Lift Install Advice, Thanks!

[RK Racing]

If I gotta get a torque wrench to get the job done either way I’m doing the LCA. No need to disassemble the whole dang knuckle if I need an alignment anyway

To each their own….. but “”” disassemble the whole damn knuckle””” = 1 nut……

Well, it looks Noah from Stage 3 switched to the LCA method on their Bronco.

Let's hope not.


The only thing close to that torque value is the axle nut.

It's not. Nowhere close.

The axle nut isn't even that tight IIRC.

i hope you guys realize that pic is for a different truck, and the lower shock bolt for it is indeed that tq value, or else it wouldve sheared off long before i even got to that value.

Speaking of shearing bolts off, i misread the tq spec for our bumper as ft-lbs and it was written in-lbs, luckily you can replace the studs
