I had my driveshaft lengthened because of the lift I just put on. I just got the drive shaft back today and I need to bolt it on but I dont know what the torque specs are for it. I have a Torque wrench, I just need to know how tight I need those bolts in there (I dont want the driveshaft falling out on me!) If anyone can tell me how many ft-lbs those bolts need I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
 






Rear Driveshaft specs from the Haynes manual
Driveshaft to xfer case bolts (4wd models only) 12-16 ft/lbs
Driveshaft to Rear axle bolts
with double cardan U-joint 70-90 ft/lbs
with single cardan U-joint 8-15 ft/lbs
 






Thanks DeRocha!
