torque specs?

Can someone with a repair manual please post the torque specs for the sway bar links, shock tower bolts, and sway bar to frame bolts. Leveling my truck today, and don't have the manual, and cannot get one today. Appreciate any and all help. Looks like an easy job from what I read on this site. Going with spacers and lorenz drop blocks for the sway bar. Thanks!

Here are your Torque Specs

According to the service manual your specs should be listed below.

2006 DR Service Manual
Page (Front-Link) 2-85

Shock Asorber Upper Nut -- 54 Nm -- 40 lbft
Shock Asorber Lower Bolt -- 136 Nm -- 100 lbft
Lower Control Arm Frame Nut 230 Nm -- 170 lbft
Lower Control Arm Axle Nuts 190 Nm -- 140 lbft
Upper Control Arm Frame Nuts 163 Nm -- 120 lbft
Upper Control Arm Axle Nuts 163 Nm -- 120 lbft
Stabilizer Bar Frame Bolt 61 Nm -- 45 lbft
Stabilizer Link Axle Bracket 149 Nm -- 110 lbft
Stabilizer Link Stablilizer Bar Nut 38 Nm -- 27 lbft
Stabilizer Link Axle Bracket Power Wagon 149 Nm -- 110 lbft
Stabilizer Link Stablilizer Bar Nut Power Wagon 149 Nm -- 110 lbft
Hub/Bearing Bolts 202 Nm -- 149 lbft
Axle Nut (Intial) 179 Nm -- 132 lbft (Then rotate 5-10 times)
Axle Nut (Final Torque) 356 Nm --253 lbft
Tie Rod End Nut 75 Nm -- 55 lbft

Note: Suspension componets with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
