2016 F350 4x4 Shocks & Sterring Stabilizer Torque Specs

All right, well here's what I did:
Stabilizer to frame mount: 67 ft-lbs
Stabilizer to drag link: 40 ft-lbs (I got tired of sifting through threads ranging between 25 ft-lbs and 67 ft-lbs with nothing definitive)
Front shocks, lower: 111 ft-lbs (this might be a MY 2017+ torque spec)
Front shocks, upper: tighten until the bushings are squished a bit, but allegedly it's 34 ft-lbs
Rear shocks, lower: 66 ft-lbs (IDK what years this was spec'd)
Rear shocks, upper: 46 ft-lbs (IDK what years this was spec'd)
Is there a manual that I can buy that has all fastener torque values for my truck?

When I replaced all 4 shocks on mine I never saw a torque value either, I ended up with the bolts "good & tight & the rubber bushing on the top of the fronts squished to about the same diameter as the washer"
As far as the manual I haven't seen one but it would be nice to have.

I really need to get a 3/8" torque wrench. Finagling a 1/2" torque wrench into those locations is fun. My torque wrench is old, I should probably get it calibrated.
With all of the differences between model years, it would be nice to have the MY specific manual or reference material to quickly find the torque values and not stop and sift through your phone trying to figure out what year everyone has on here. haha

Just installed a new OEM steering stabilizer. It has the same M12-1.75 threads as the stabilizer to frame-mounted mount. The listed torque spec for the stabilizer to mount is 67 ft-lbs. Since both ends have the same threads maybe that’s why I’m seeing 67 ft-lbs for both stabilizer ends when searching?
