    anyone know what it should be? I ordered shim kit with sway bar fr OPGI...looked like it was in there pretty snug. Any advise? Weight on or off when torquing. I changed up my frt one as well 1.25 in, it's a monster compared to what was in there.

    Mike - What size is your front one? If I remember correctly the rear should be smaller than the front or you will have trouble with handling at the limit.

    Torque fasteners 45-55 ft lb for the rear bar. Doesn't matter if it is loaded or unloaded. Front bar torque end links 15 ft lb and support brackets 30 ft lb with full vehicle weight on bar. Also, the slit in the support bushing for the front bar face forward.
