From my Haynes manual
(I also included specs for 1500 in case anyone might need them):

Caliper mounting (guide pin) bolts:
Front 1500 = 80 ft/lbs
Front 2500 = 80
Rear 2500 = 80
Rear 1500 = 31

Caliper mounting bracket bolts:
Front 1500 = 129
Front 2500 = 221
Rear 1500 = 148
Rear 2500 = 122

FYI - When I did mine I just did them up as tight as I could get them. Remember at some point down the road you'll want to take them off again. Too much torque could make them a bugger again later.

Just my :2cents: worth.
