225 foot pounds

[DanB]

I forgot how much it sucks to torque a bolt to 225ftlbs. I put a leveling kit on my truck tonight. The lower strut bolts require a torque spec of 225ftlb. Its especially fun after wrestling the strut assembly back into its spot after the spacer is installed.

back hurts, arms hurt. Job done with minimal cussing.

I remember having to take the handle off my racing jack to use as a cheater bar. Unfortunately, there was a lot cussing involved in that incident.

They make a 4-1 multiplier for torque wrenches. No "cheater" needed.
