I'm planning out my build for my new KJ and while making my parts list I was wondering if anyone has any factory or self proclaimed torque specs for the bolts and nuts of the KJ suspension.

This is my parts replacement list so obviously there will be a lot of disassembly and reassembly just don't want to under or over tighten anything.

JBA Shopping List:
OME 2927 Front Coils
OME 90009 Front Struts
OME 2948 Rear Coils
OME 60069 Rear Shocks
JBA 1/4" Strut Spacer Plate Set
JBA UCA's
Replacement MOOG LBJ's
Teraflex Extended Front Bump Stops
JBA Extended Rear Bump Stops
Additional Upper Rear Coil Spring Isolator per side
Total Order: $1461.70 + 113.01 Shipping = $1574.71

Locally Sourced:
Factory Dana30a 4.10 Ratio Salvaged Axle from 2.4L I4 Sport KJ $428.58
Factory Chrysler 8.25" 4.10 Ratio Salvaged Axle from 2.4L I4 Sport KJ $447.00
Front Driveshaft CV Joint Replacement Kit $45.00
(5) 16"x8" Black Powder Coated MOAB's $200.00 + $280.00 (Powder Coat)
(5) Factory Replacement TPMS Sensors $45.98
(4) New 265/75R16 Nitto Trail Grapplers $831.96
(1) Used 245/75R16 Goodyear MTR for Spare $70.00

Some of those parts aren't subject to torque specs but I'm excited and wanted to include all of them haha.

FSM can be d/l'd here > Index of /manuals/Jeep/KJ

Be advised that 05's and up have a smaller pinch bolt on the clevis that take 45ft lbs not the 100 ft lbs of the 02-04's.

Thanks for the manuals that's great info!

As far as clevis bolt, both of my 05's have had the larger one but they were both manufactured in late 04 so that may be why.
