Specs for what piece specifically? Or just all of them?

From the Hayne's book:

Axle cap to radius arm (C-bushing cap) = 90 to 110 lbs
Lower spring seat to top of radius arm = 45 to 55 lbs
Trackbar to Axle = 155 to 205 lbs (whichever lines up the cotter pin hole)
Trackbar to frame = 110 to 130 lbs
Radius arm to frame bracket = 80 to 120 lbs

These are obviously for the factory hardware. If you've made any serious changes, the values may vary a bit. You can probably get away with less on the trackbar now, with the polyurethane bushings, I would think. And if the radius arm cap bolts are very rusty, you might use the lower value, just in case.
That should get you there.
