Shock bolt torque values

[dans1999f-53]

I'm putting on Bilstein shocks on my 1999 Bounder and wonder what I should torque the 1 1/8 nuts down to on the shock bolts top and bottom?
thanks

See attached torque chart. I your bolts will be 7/8" dia. with a 1 1/8" head. Likely a grade 5 or 8. Look at the marks on the head of the bolt and identify which grade you have by the attached chart.

What chassis do you have? If it's an F53 the correct torque tables for the front and rear are attached.
Edit: I see by your user name you do have an F53.
