There is a reason the manufacturer puts a torque spec on the bolts.
I would try to borrow one just to be safe and for peace of mind.

May I ask a stupid question: what is a sway bar and why would I need one?

A torque wrench is a great tool to have and if you know where to look they aren't that expencive.

The ones you get from Harbour Freight and similar stores are perfectly fine for shadetree mechanic types. I have 3 different ones (1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive) with varying torque capacities.

The instructions do tell you to use a torque wrench though I foget how much torque. Borrowed one from Advance Auto when I installed mine.
