Installing fstb
Do I really need a torque wrench, or can I just use a wrench?

DO NOT OVER TORQUE IT. 35 ft lbs is plenty. That is "snug". If you overtighten it and snap the bolt, prepare to spent $$$ and dismantle the entire suspension.

You can put it on now, just be careful not to over tighten it. Get a torque wrench tomorrow and double check it. You should be fine.
