Looking at the factory repair manual it shows the ball joints themselves are pressed in. If you purchased an aftermarket component that bolts in I would contact that company and ask what the torque specs are supposed to be. If you are referring to the ball joint STUD nut, they are torqued in two passes. The upper ball joint to 37 Lb Ft on first pass and then final pass torque 90-110 degrees. Lower ball joint 37 Lb Ft and 125-135 degrees. See attached screenshots from manual.
There are several different wear specs regarding lower ball joints. The official manufacturer torque spec. for lower ball joint wear (For your truck) is 5 in lbs. The official wear spec. to pass the Federal State inspection is less than 1/16" of play at the ball joint (up and down and side to side). The official wear spec. for a front end alignment is zero play.
My info for lower ball joint says 74 ft lbs
outer tie-rod says 47 ft lbs.
Any specs your given on the internet you should try to double check. All I can do is post what my database showed. Hopefully the database is correct.
Douglas, 90 lb-ft is ball joint nut torque.
