Shock Torque Specs Confirmation

[ACK]

Was reassembling and torquing down the rear suspension on the C10 and just can't get over the torque specs for the shocks ... 130-150 ft. lb. for the upper eye and 55-75 ft. lb. for the lower. The upper mounts were pinching the heck out of the bushings and I still had a ways to go, so I stopped and moved on because it just didn't feel right. I know they're book torque specs, but would feel better if I heard from others confirming they ratchet down that much on the shocks.
