Not sure if you have 4WD or 2WD.

Drag link-to-Pitman arm nut: 2000-2004: 66 ft-lbs
Drag link-to-tie-rod nut: 1999-2004 4WD: 67 ft-lbs
Tie-rod end nuts: 1999-2004 2WD: 67 ft-lbs, 1999-2004 4WD: 52 ft-lbs
Adjustment sleeve bolt: 41 ft-lbs

The nut that goes to the Pitman arm is 66 ft-lbs. That bar (drag link) attaches on the passanger side to the tie rod. That nut is 67 ft-lbs. The tie rod nuts that attach at the steering knuckle on both sides are 52 ft-lbs.

Hope that helps.
