There actually is not a specific torque rating for shackle bolts like the Redline # 166081 that you referenced. You just want to make sure that the bolt is long enough so that when installed you have at least 2 threads protruding from the nut. This particular bolt measures 3 inches in length and the locknut is included.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
