Default Body lift torque?

I saw the chart for torque specs and I've seen where people say 30-35 ibs but I've also seem people say 80. Anyone know for sure? Just want to make sure it's safe. I also have a little clunking feel in the steering wheel now....any ideas?

I believe the 2 smaller bolts need to be torqued at 35 and the larger bolts at 80. When I did my body lift I just tightened the smaller bolts as much as I can with a 3/8 ratchet. And for the larger bolts, I only used a 1/2 impact gun. I never checked how much torque they were at but they haven't came loose in the past 6 months
