Torque wrench requird for spring/shock install?
I'm going to be installing my Progress springs, AGX shocks this weekend - will I need a torque wrench? Is it super important to get the ft/lbs correct on the nuts?

hmm...i didn't use a torque wrench. We just tightened everything as tight as we can and my suspension's fine but I guess if you wanna be safe then use the torque wrench. I didn't and I have no problems.

buy a torque wrench, you will use it for other projects later on and you will be assured of not screwing stuff up
