Shock Absorber bolt torque specs

[lskrogers]

I need to replace the shocks on my 2000, Ranger, 4X4, off road. I can't seem to find the proper bolt and top nut torque specs for when replacing the hardware. I've been told, "Just snug it up and that will do." I don't want to "Just snug it up," obviously there is a proper amount of torque to use. I'm replacing both front and rear. Help anybody??

I just tighten shocks until the bushing squeezes out to the same size as the washer.
