bolt size??

Hi all, just need some torque specs. Long story short, I went to do the shackle swap today in my 08 4x4 sport, saw I was going to need a bigger jack to drop the axle low enough for the eyelet bolts to clear the hitch, and then thought "hey, I don't even know what to torque these down to and I don't wanna guess on suspension!" So what exactly are the torque specs on the shackle eyelet bolt and the spring eyelet bolt? Wow that wasn't very long story short I guess....
