I think this question has been asked before, not a dumb question at all. I dont have the answer, but I can say I tighten my shackles til I see just a slight swell on the bushing, very little and thats all. I have never seen a torque callout for a shackle either.

yeah that seems like alot of torque for shackle bolts.?

When I got my first lift 4" rough country the instruction said 45ftlbs. And when we installed a 6" BDS all spring lift on a friends k20 the instructions said the same.
