I have a novice question. When are guys/gals torquing down the suspension bolts to spec? I saw somewhere that you wanted the chassis at ride height before torquing down the suspension bolts. If so, I would assume then that you want the tires you plan to run on it before you set the ride height? Do you get them pretty snug before setting the chassis on wheels? Any particular order to tightening them down?
Also, I have replaced most or all suspension bolts with grade 8 bolts. Most of the nuts I am using have the nylon inserts. Is this adequate? I was planning on using thread lock in addition to the nylon nuts. Is that overkill? Also, If I do not have a nylon nut is a grade 8 lock washer and thread lock adequate? Or is the lock washer overkill?
Sorry about the nubie questions, but I don't want something coming apart at any speed, much less high speed. I also don't want to be taking this apart and putting it back together any more than I need to.
Thanks for your responses.
