Default torrsion bars

How do you crank up the torsion bars, does anyone have any pictures with how to do it?

Your better off with a leveling kit. Torking up the TBs will kill the ride on that truck.

Its a piece of cake. I just got my Durango on Sat and did it already. First thing to do is measure the height from the ground to the frame on both sides. Jack the truck up and let the tires hang freely. Go under near the middle of the truck and you'll see the 2 bars running to the front of the vehicle. I think its somewhere like a 23mm or so socket and get a breaker bar and turn it clockwise about 8 full turns. I did mine and got like 1.5 inches. I hear you can go up to 2 but not too good for the ride. Put it back on the ground and bounce it around and measure again. I'm sure I didn't do something right so I'm posting to help you and possible have someone correct me. I didn't feel no difference on the ride either. Looks a whole lot different and tougher. Not with that stubby dropped front stance look anymore. Wife said it looks like a total different truck.
