Torque specs for track bar?

Does anyone know the torque specs for the track bar?
Had a clunking noise that I found out came from the track bar. I tightened it but obviously not enough because the clunking came back.

Carli has the frame side bolt at 406lb/ft on the frame side bolt with their adjustable track bar but it uses factory bolt and bracket. Axle side uses a totally different bolt so I don't think their number for that location would apply to a stock bar.

axle side is a tapered fit ball joint stud. the nut on mine was not very tight. i bet you can find the spec pretty easily online

Do you have any kind of leveling kit on your truck?

No levelling kit. 4" BDS.

Was good first 6000 miles. Then it started clunking when I wiggleg the steering wheel or over bumps. Thought I tightened quite a bit. It fixed it. But, a few hundred miles and it's starting again.
