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?
    See one is at the end of adjustment and one is set all the way loose. So some dumb *** set them up wrong.
    So i need to drop them and re index them.. i was just wondering if there was some procedure for the best way to index them?

    Ah I see, well it is clear you know more what you are talking about then me, I probably couldn't even tell you if mine were maxed out one way or the other, all I know is my bolts turned and the front end came down, lol. Yeah I have no experience in reindexing but I know there was a thread about that somewhere around here.

    To quote Zues in another thread "Anyway, reindexing the T-bars involves the removal of the crossmember they go into and then rotating the bars (which swings the A-arms down) enough to fit in their mounts again. Then you fine tune the amount of lift by cranking on the adjusting bolts."

    But it sounds like you already know more than that already, oh the bolt is 27mm though if that helps, I went out and bought a 27mm socket to go with my 10" socket wrench that is what I used, it was hard to turn but I love challenges

    That is all I could find sorry couldn't be more help, good luck can't wait to see how it turns out, let us know.

    "I think the dealer lowered the front end when they changed my ball joints."

    It's happened. CSTYLES took his in for a front end alignment when he lifted & they kindly lowered his front end back to original specs as part of the alignment.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
