Since they are normally torque to spec I would just go as far as your impact will go. If you want a specific number I would go 250 -300 ft/lbs. A Dana 60 is 260 ft lbs I believe so around there should be fine.

A stupid amount of torque is required to crush the sleeve. Thats why I use a custom tool I bolt to yokes to hold them while doing ring and pinions. Since your eliminating that step I agree using the Dana 60 torque is a good application. My Randy's Ring and Pinion book gives a 240 to 300 ftlb range. And Always prem. strenght thread locker. That link seems misleading on that torque value, I think thats for set up only. Or I hope thats the case.

350 ft./lbs is what it says in the 14B bible
