Rear spring assy

[Belgium R/T -68]

Here I am again with my questions When hanging up/assy the rear leafsrings, do I tighten both front and rear bolts
and shackles to full torque or do I wait with that untill the car is standing on wheels with load?

I did it both ways when I did mine.  I tightened everything in the air first, rechecked it on the ground, then took it for a short drive and rechecked again.

I just tightened mine shakles/front eye bolts "snug" to allow for spring movement.  Once it's fully assembled you can tighten down the front eye bolts and shackles with the suspension loaded.
