That sounds about right.. be sure to drop the Jeep on the floor, or put stands under the axles before you tighten 'em up. You want the vehicle at normal ride height whenever you tighten up suspension parts.

The FSM for my 97 says lowers are 85 ft-lbs (115 N-m). The axle side for the lowers are 55 ft-lbs.(75 N-m), and 66 ft-lbs. (90 N-m) at the frame bracket.

I torqued mine to 1 "Goodandtight" and periodically check it to make sure everything is okay. No issues, but i'll probably get a ton of hate for saying that.
