When installing Timbren suspension enhancement kits like the # TTORTUN4L, U-bolt and the straight bolt attaching the spring to the bracket doesn't have a specific torque rating as they're usually 'torqued to yield' meaning they're torqued down until they begin to deflect. I did contact Timbren who confirmed this.

Included are additional video resources regarding this solution.
