    Do you just tighten them on the adj bolt or is there a procedure to reset them?

    Yes, but the bad news is, as soon as you crank them up, it throws the alignment out of whack.

    and thus is why you spend $139 on a life time alignment at firestone.
    All of my cars/trucks have one even " yes" my two road race cars..
    I go in and get it done for free and every car is in there at least 3-4 times a year with some new mod.

    My problem i see is the left adjuster is at the end of its travel and the other has lots of adj left. can i pull the adjusters off and reset them on the splined end of the torsion bar or is one bar just screwed?

    If it's cranked to the limit, that would indicate that they didn't lower it?

    I would try to re-index the T-bar before I bought a new one, but if it needs to be replaced, I would get a pair from www.independent4x.com
    Matt is good people & sells quality.

    See thats the problem... one side is and the other is the complete opposite like some dumb *** had no clue how to put it together. One side is at the beginning of the adjustment the other is at the end... either the torsion bar is weak or it was assembled incorrectly. if you take a tape the the truck you can see the front is down by 2" in comparison to the rear.

    Before I did my lift the difference between the front and back was between 1.5 inches and 2" difference on each side with the front having less room between the fenders (less ground clearance). If I am not mistaken the VX came with a tad bit of lean towards the front. As far as those torsion bolts go, mine would not turn very much at all without some heavy soaking in some pbBlaster, is there a chance that they are at their lowest limit instead of the highest?
