You don't give the year of your truck. I have info on 1995's

From factory 1995 factory manual:

Front on 4x4:
Shackle bolts 120-150 lb-ft
Spring eye bolt 120-150 lb-ft
U-Bolts 85-120 lb-ft

Rear without overload springs (spring on top of axle tube, u-bolt nuts on top)
Front spring eye bolt on rear spring 83-113 lb-ft
Rear spring eye bolt on rear spring 141-191 lb-ft
U-bolts 141-191 lb-ft

Rear with overload springs (spring on top of axle tube, U-bolt nuts on bottom)
Spring eye bolts, both ends 157-212 lb-ft
U-bolts 141-191 lb-ft

Hope this helps out.
