install my front and rear Coast DS? I can do it mechanically, but am just nerves about just torquing to 160 ft. lbs. at as opposed to using a dial torque dial wrench and fining the pre-load, etc. And would go the later if I did not have to buy a $300 wrench. So, I guess those that have done the 160 ft. lbs and called it a day, is it holding up? Or you starting to hear any noise, etc.

Just trying to talk myself into doing it myself.

Well, you can always go to AutoZone and use their loan-a-tool (free) if they have a torque wrench that goes that high. Not sure about the rest. I'm still waiting on my RK 2.5 Max Travel and 37's to arrive. Hoping I won't have to do the ds's, but I may come back to this thread if I need new ds's. Good question.

O'Riely's has a loan tool deal as well. My 250 lb torque wrench costed $90, then when i returned it, I got all my money back.

I use them for coil spring compressors, and several other tools. Great program they have.

I can get a ft. lb. torque wrench up to 160 ft. lbs. What you need to get is a dial in. lb. torque wrench. I do not think, and could be wrong, that Autozone, etc. rents these out.

Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area have one I can use?
