So I finished up putting the Energy Suspension polyurethane mounts under the cab on the four door this weekend. However I couldn't find the torque values for the bolts anywhere. I looked in my Chilton's and searched the internet for an hour or so, no luck. Does anyone know where I could find this?

grab impact, crank em down till they look right. Use a little blue locktite on the nut , those stiff mounts have a habit of vibrating the things loose.
I'm pretty fanatical about torquing everything to spec, but I never found any either, and a standard bolt torque for that size bolt, against a compressable item would be way too much.

Standard torque for that size bolt will be fine, 65 ft lbs I believe.

They seem fine, but I never drove the truck much before as the rear passenger side mount was torn free and not even doing anything. Compared to my F250 the truck seems to float a little more and not jar as much on the sharp edge bumps. So it doesn't seem to have stiffened up the ride too much, it still seems to ride softer than my other truck for some reason.

I don't think you will have much luck with a torque wrench. When I did mine, I got one about where I thought it should be, counted the turns until I could wiggle the washer under it, and then screwed it back in that many and did the same number of turns for the others. They don't give much, so I think you'd want it not too tight.
