Hello, installed new control arms on front suspension of the truck listed above, took the torsion bars and moved them out of the way, but didn't mark how they were sitting in the lower control arm. My problem now since I've installed them is the front sits higher than before and the adjustment bolt for the torsion key is ran all the way out so barely any tension on the key. Do you know the right indexing for these torsion bars?

Hi,

There really isn't any indexing in the manual. However, we need to back off the bar. I would likely remove it allowing it to turn (loosen). Then reinstall it.

I attached directions for installation below. Let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe
