Default Suspension DIY help / Tightening torques for front and rear axle

My winter project is underway - major suspension upgrade. I am installing all the parts, my shop will do the alignment and final set-up. I am replacing almost everything, and I'm looking for a reference source for the torque settings for the various bolts. Any suggestions?
