Question Need torque specs for control arms,etc.

I am installing the Western Chassis 3/5 drop kit tomorrow and need to know torque specs for the control arm bolts,ball joints, and tie rods since I have yet to buy a repair manual and the installation instructions don't list the info. Can anyone help?
