    Do a site search "torsion bar adjust" & you'll find a veritable cornucopia of things you want to know.

    All you have to do is put a socket on the lower mounting bolt of the torsion bar with a descent breaker bar and start cranking, attempt to do both sides the same amount. I counted the threads with my fingernail and am within a thread left to right. Be ready for a small workout or have another person ready to jump in when needed.
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    ...

    1)easier to put VX on stands where whole front end is lifted to relieve pressure
    2) Get a hammer and a punch to mark location of beginning turn.
    3) each full turn is like 1/8" to 1/4" I can not remember
    3) once you figure how much lift you need lower and bounce it around from side to side and up and down to allow Tbars to adjust
    4) Reapeat step 3 if needed
    once you lift it
    1) Remove wheel undo lower(smaller around) clamp from inner Cv boots and push them up over the groove where they were suposed to set in to alleviate stretching and tearing from lifting.
    2) replace clamp with very strong Flex cuff
