Torque specs on ball joint bolts

I'm replacing the ball joints (again) on my 2007 LT but can't find the proper torque specs for the three bolts. I'm trying units from Precision Engineering this time if it makes a difference, the last set from Rock Auto didn't last well. Would appreciate any information or suggestions. Thank you.

Those 3 bolts are to be torqued to 50 ft lbs , the pinch bolts get torqued to 37 ft lbs , then backed off 3/4 of a turn , then retorqued to 37 ft lbs plus another 30 degrees tighter.

Thank you, I'd just about given up trying to find this info. Little surprised the manufacturers don't supply that, just bought some for my pickup and all that information was in the packaging. Anyway, very grateful.

YouTube is your friend for a lot of parts swapping in just about any vehicle.
