Torque spec is over hundred ft/lbs for those bolts. Use blue loctite and tighten them TIGHT. Torqued properly, blue is all you need. But if you cant get good leverage to tighten them really tight you might want to use red loctite.
You should replace the bolts per Ford Service manual and they already have loctite on them P/N N800594-S100 And the Torque Spec for them is 71 - 95 Ft. Lbs.
