Good stuff, after reading some horror stories, I'm a bit nervous about the BMR cradle inserts I'm gonna attempt soon. I only have a 3/8" torque wrench that goes up to 75 ft lbs. I read the cradle bolts should be torqued to 130 lbs tho. I'm thinking of torqueing them to 75lbs then tightening them on a bit more. Did you use blue thread lock on anything? Or is that only for sway bar/ endlinks nuts?
