What does everybody torque to in regards to control arms and other suspension components? Also, I'm using the RE large heims for the LCAs, test drove the jeep and the CAs bang from side to side(turn on the RE joint) im assuming i just need to pull the joints out and tighten them down.

I've never heard an actual torque spec as I'm sure it's not anything exact, but turn the adjuster nut until it's pretty tight and you can't move the ball by hand. You're still likely going to have to retorque them after putting some miles on them. You don't need the tool, you can make a spanner wrench or do it like a true badass with a hammer and flat-head.
Or are you saying that there is space between the ball and mounting bracket? I use lock nuts on all of the suspension bolts and run them down TIGHT. Did you tighten the jam nuts as well?
Pics of the finished suspension?
 
I've been out of town for the past week, everything's nice and tight, still haven't put the coils on that we got from you, once we do that we will put up some pics. I'll pick up the lock nuts from work, Thanks
