Unhappy heads up on new shocks install

I installed a set of Rancho 9000 on my Ram 3500, 2001.5 the other day all went well until I tightened down the last bolt on the left front shock tower. It snapped off or should I say twisted off on me. Needless to say I was I was a little chocked I was using a torque wrench set at 40 flbs. and was not near that yet. To replace the bolt the coil spring has to be removed etc. so I took it into the dealer and can you imagine the bolt has to come from Detroit, 5 days I could darn near walk there and back in that time. Anyway just a heads up be careful torquing on those bolts.
