Just an FYI: I would like to suggest to take a few minutes and put the front of your newer truck on jack stands, and pull the front wheels off one at a time, and remove the lower strut bolt that goes into the a-arm and put a good coat of anti-seize on it, then put it back in and torque it to 155 lb/ft. It takes a 21mm and 24mm socket.
This will save you a lot of head aches when you want to replace or upgrade the struts in the future. This bolt will rust in the bushing and you will most likely have to replace the lower a-arms, Bolts, along with the struts. This is a well known issue with these bolts. I found this out the hard way on my 07 Sport last year.
