I want to do this, this weekend.Torque the top nut (19MM) to 30ft/lbs and when you re-attach the strut to the spindle torque the bolts to 80ft/lbs.Also the sway bar end link gets 30ft/lbs.All specs taken from my Hotchikis install guide.I'm starting my install this weekend also......

Then the rest of the nuts I just tighten real tight or use air tools?

That looks great rasermon! I can't wait to get mine installed now! I'm glad to hear that it wasn't too much trouble.
