That's something I have never torqued. A 7/8 wrench can muster up plenty of torque, don't make them crazy tight. I go just past snug then to the next hole that the cotter pin will align with.

I just dont want to crash on my home tonight and Im one that likes to torque everything properly
Good and tight, to the hole that lines up closest, with the cotter pins in place they can't fall off.
Don't worry: they won't fall off, think about how much force it took you to get the old ones to come off the taper.

Actually the nuts themselves werent very tight but it took a few good hits with my BFH to get them to come off the spindles and pitman arm, however I did find a torque spec for the tie rod ends it was listed at 65ftlbs but didnt find anything for the inner tie rod ends or the adjusting sleeves.
