Default Help Bolt Torque Ratings!

So I am puttign everything back in for my new 9 inch rear end setup and I can't seem to find my manuals for torque ratings on all of the bolts can anyone help me out with this or do I need to run out and buy a haynes manual? I need the ratings for all of the bolts related to the rear end and rear suspension I've looked but can't seem to find them online. Thanks

Unless you're an ape, just go tight and don't over squish any of the bushings (they should expand a little, but no more than their accompanying washer). I torque my wheels, but never have torqued my axles/carriers/springs.

I don't have the Ford specs for your rear end...but here's the general torque values by bolt size:
