hoping someone has a factory manual they could look at. the 32 ft/lbs seems awfully loose!

Each company has their own torque values for the same bolt. I guess parts aren't created equal so some require more torque than others. You’ll be good as long as you get close to torque specs and use blue lock tight on all the bolts. When I did my Pfadt tie rods, the instructions said to torque the subframe side to 120 ft lbs (too tight, only went to 100) and the upright side to 90 ft lbs. The trailing arm bolts were 52 ft lbs each side and the subframe bolts were 100 ft lbs (needed to drop the subframe like two inches for drivers side rear tie rod bolt because floor pan is in the way). I forgot what the coil over torque was, but that needed to come off as well. I marked all the factory bolts with a paint line prior to doing the work and the recommended settings were WAY off from where the factory torque was. No issues after install though. You’ll need to get an alignment afterwards though so do many suspension mods at once to save money (you prob already know most of what I have said). I hope I was helpful.
