I would not use anti-seize on these. You don't want them coming off at speed.
Additionally anti-seize throws off the torque specs. They become "wet" torque specs rather than dry, and are different. It's way easier to break stuff as well as you can torque down a lot harder.
(IIRC from my research wet torque specs are somewhere around 50%-60% less than dry.)
Anti-seize is great on stuff you want to remove easily down the road, so there's plenty of things that it's good for (like the cone washers on the axle). Not so good for stuff you want to keep on the truck.
Torque specs are attached. It's for a '97, but it should be the same as yours.
I've got the right tool now!
(You need a pickle fork. Heat + crowbar won't work. Ask me how I know...)

And watch your forehead if you are trying to pull the steering stabilizer
