Finally cranked 'em up!
no sir just a wrench an tape measure,crawl under an at the end of the bars you will see a bolt,just tightin at up equal,i took measurements to make sure everything came up equal
Well, I had a 9000 pound fork truck at my disposal - I lifted the front of the truck off the ground.
You can do it with a regular floor jack.
Get some white out, an 18mm socket and ratchet handle, and a tape measure.
(this will sound way more difficult than it is)
First: measure from the ground to the lip of the wheel well (in the center) on each side, and write down the measurement in case you ever wish to return to stock height.
Next: get under the truck (with the truck on the ground!) and mark the bolts that adjust the torsion bar height with a line to the bracket that they're in.
Then: Jack up the front of the truck, and for God's sake use jacks stands if you're going under it!!!
( I had a very bad experience when a Chevy Cavalier landed on my chest!!!)
Next: it is as easy as putting the ratchet on it and going one full turn around for each of the two bolts.
Be sure that the line that you drew with the whiteout comes back around to where it started.
Finally: put the truck back down on the ground, and jounce it up and down by pushing down on the front bumper. This will ensure that you get a correct reading on the tape measure. Remeasure the same place that you did before. Keep repeating this process until you've acquired a level truck!
VERY IMPORTANT: if one side is lower than the other, bring it up by turning the respective bolt.
If you must lower the torsion bars for any reason, make sure to loosen the bolt past the point that you want to go, and then tighten again to where you want it. Never bring the bolt down without going back up a little. Get it? Now your truck is level!

Yes, follow the torsion bars back till about middle of the truck where they enter a channel going across. You will see the two bolts, one on either torsion bar. I think you can see that they look like a 1/2 in bolt with threads showing... Need more help, just post again, and I'll go get a few pics!
