Default Leaf spring/ubolt torque specs???

Doing the leafs on my 03 2wd regular cab. I guess the specs need to be right on these. I need the torque specs on the 2 main bolts and then the u bolts. Also,anyone know the exact size u bolts i will need? Im wanting to get them before i remove the old ones. Thanks
