Default Racer's Edge lower shock mounting adapters question

I am swapping out rear springs. What is the torque value for the bolt that attaches the lower shock to the adapter? If I recall it's around 50-something ft/lbs. (maybe?) but would like to know for sure. I know I have the instruction sheet somewhere, but can't find it. I'd don't want to bug Karl at RE with this if someone here has this torque value handy. TIA!

And blue loctite, right?

Thanks Justin! 50-something sounded familiar, so I just did them to 55. Close enough I suppose. I'll write that down for next time. Thanks again.

Reno, this is what I was referring to, http://www.racersedge-inc.com/racers...?open&id=7.3.6

Ah, so they are! I looked under "lower shock adapters", not "rear shock trailing arm bolts". Thanks beab951, that's the sheet I have...somewhere. I'll print another one. Thanks!

I sure am glad that Karl has good parts with instructions that you can download. It’s amazing how those instruction sheets disappear when you need then and reappear after you are done.
