Default Sway bar links

Greetings. I recently replaced the front sway bar links on my 2002 blazer and I wasn’t sure how tight to tighten them. Anyone have any suggestions ,and thanks?

I'm not sure what the factory specs are, but the general consensus on here is that you make sure to park on a flat even surface and then tighten them until the bushings start to bulge a tiny bit. This loads the bushing, so that there is no play in the bar.
