Torsion Bars

ALright guys I know you may or may not have answered this but I cant ever find the info I need when I need it.. Anyway I have been told a couple time about fliping the torsion bars and getting a little bit more clearance,I am about as low as I can go with these things but drag em on lots of stuff. Anyway I was looking at them and took one off and couldnt figure how the hell you flip em or can you?? Someone knows the answer and please dont give me crap for this or tell me to bag it,It will be bagged but not just yet.. ANyway thanks in advance...

you dont flip them, you re key them.

So right now to lower the truck, you loosen the adjuster, right? Loosening the adjuster lets the adjuster droop more, which lets it get caught on a lot of stuff. This is bad.

Instead, remove the adjusters, and pull the torsion off the LCA. Now turn it slightly, so that the adjuster is MORE towards the ground than it was. Just a couple splines, then put it back together. You will find now that it takes more adjuster to get the truck to the same ride height, and the adjusters dont hang lower than the frame any more. The torsion bar is still doing the same amount of work, you just cant adjust it as high as you used to be able to without turning the torsion back to where it was.

It helps to draw a matching paint line on both the torsion and the LCA before you remove it, so you know how far you have move it and can match it on the other side.

Its called re keying, or re indexing the torsions. You can "flip" the lower balljoints and get a bit more drop without turning the torsions down any more, but you dont actually flip them. You can "flip" the upper ball joints too and correct some of that static drop camber. Let me know if you need to know how to do that too.
