There is not a specific torque setting for shackle bolts, including the Step Wet Bolt for 1-3/4" Double Eye Springs # 34007-187-00. All you have to do is tighten bolt until the knurled portion of the bolt pulls completely into the shackle strap and the bolt head is ran all the way down to the shackle strap.

You will need the U-Bolt Kit item #APUBR-1 to use the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 27" Long item #SP-210275. The kit uses 1/2 inch diameter nuts that you will want to torque them down to about 70 foot pounds.

A 9/16" shackle bolt like the Step Wet Bolt for 1-3/4" Double Eye Springs #34007-187-00 actually does not have a recommended torque because tightening the shackle bolts too much will crush the shackle straps up against the leaf springs, and…
