Hey Jeep what year is that force?1984-1989B ....... 270 inch Lbs1989C-1996 ........225 in.-lbsSequence Should be 10 bolts. 2 in center first then two above center, two below center, then the two top followed by two bottom. Force recommends putting oil on threads of bolts before installing. Do not crank all the way to max torque on each bolt but tighten each one in steps. I hope this helps.
