Lorenz Leveling Kit Installed

I installed my Christmas gift and have a few questions. I disconnected the steering linkage bar at each wheel and was wondering if anyone has the torque specs for that. Also how necessary is an adjustable track bar? Thanks for the help

INSTALLATION
1. Install tie rod (2) to the left steering knuckle and
drag link. Install the nuts (1) and tighten to 54 N·m
(40 ft. lbs.) Then an additional 90°.
2. Remove the supports and lower the vehicle to the
surface. Center steering wheel and adjust toe,
(Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
3. After adjustment tighten tie rod adjustment sleeve
clamp bolts to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.).

According to the 2006 Factory Service Manual.

Sean will sell you a Thuren anodized trackbar. It will re-center your axle and provide a tighter feel to your steering.
