Rancho RS5000x shocks

I know a lot of guys put the Bilstein Shocks on their trucks but Amazon had these for $102 for the front pair and $102 for the rear pair plus free shipping which I thought was a decent price. What through me off was that rear shocks where like the fronts with the red bootie (not the all metal exterior). I had to call Rancho just to make sure this was the correct shock. Is there a certain amount of torque #s the top front nuts get tighten to beside just squishing the rubber bushing?

Most of the shocks I've purchased have had "directions" in the box stipulating a compression measurement of the bushing, if not an actual torque value. Yours missing? I looked at the Rancho site you linked above and I couldn't find a correct-enough part number to pull down installation instructions. Pretty poor website actually.
