Well you didn't say what third member that you have(stock,aftermarket iron, or aluminum) so here is what I have. This is straight from Richmond Gears instructions that came with my Pro gear set.
7/16" Ring Gear Bolts : 60-65 ft/lbs
1/2" Ring Gear Bolts : 100-110 ft/lbs.
7/16" Carrier Cap Bolts : 60-65 ft/lbs.
1/2" Carrier Cap Bolts : 80-85 ft/lbs.
Here are the specs from Mark Williams for their aluminum center sections

3/8" Pinion Housing Nuts : 30-35 ft/lbs.
