For 3/4 ton front suspension:

Idler arm support bolts (3/8"): 30 ft/lbs (I guessed at this one)
Idler Arm-to-support: 60 ft/lbs
Idler arm-to-drag link: 60 ft/lbs
Pitman Arm nut: 175-180 ft/lbs (damn that's alot)
Pitman Arm-to-drag link: 60 ft/lbs
Upper control arm bushings: 90 ft/lbs
Upper control arm center bolt stud nuts: 80 ft/lbs
Upper ball joint bolts (5/16"): 15-20 ft/lbs

...so what about the 3/8" bolts that hold the sway bar brackets to the frame? How 'bout the bushing bolts for the sway bar?
