145ft lb front two (axle) 145ftlb rear bolt (frame) If you are putting on RT corrected arms if you have trouble getting both bolt in @ the axle disconnect your shock (bottom and unbolt the swaybar bracket and it will go. and don't forget the washer that is on your old arms
Good Luck

MTB....There is an easy way for the RTE arms.
Take off the track rod as you said. Take a hammer and open the axle ears about 1/8". Slide the rear stub into the frame mount.Put the front bolt thru the front axle mount and radius arm. Do both sides as such. Then take a floor jack and place under the radius arm close to the front and jack up until rear axle bolt slides in, slide the bolt in, goes very easy and lines up perfect. Jacking on the arms will rotate the axle to the 2nd bolt hole.Do the other side the same and put nuts on all bolts and tighten. 30 minute job.

ahhh...job complete!!

New track rod, drag link, rod ends, alignment, and blue poly bushings...

Ok...took longer than I thought

Actually my press shot the bushings out and broke a flourescent light overhead...

Woops!!!

I tried that but did not open axle ears had no problem with those everything slid in nice. I assumed that it was because I was running a shy over stock hieght and had your arms for 2" correction. Got everything on after swearing some and using my peabrain I do have a rear vibe(30mph) when I put the rear links on had to use the 1/4 spacer not as bad, leaving go until I get my springs from you. then both shafts are being replaced.
