I bought a manual so will fill in all the torque specs for people doing sway bars and needing to drop cradle (will add pictures when I have time)

main subframe bolts x4 (118ft lbs)
Cradle brace (near front control arm forward bushing x2 per side (43 ft lbs)
Radiator support bracket (above cradle brace bolts x1 per side (16 ft lbs)

lower shock mount 118 ft lbs
Sway bar bracket 43 ft lbs
sway bar end link nut 74 ft lbs

I've wrenched my whole life and never worried about torque specs on anything other than wheels and internal engine parts. Never had a problem either.

I am coming from a platform where I had to paint mark every bolt because they rattled loose. I am also a bit nervous just driving bolts into aluminum threads without some type of measured force.

This was my last ride that needed constant attention to not kill you
