loosen the bolts all the way, make a mark on the other end of the bars where they hook into the receiver on the control arms (sorta like you would on a driveshaft & tranny) then you pull the bars out of the receiver, and turn them like 2 splines, making sure to do the other the same amount except opposite direction, i think it was clock wise on the driver side, and counter clockwise on the passanger side. you will have to take a pipe wrench and turn them with it to get the bolt started, then make sure you turn both bolts the same amount otherwise you'll have one side sittn higher than the other.

IT ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP THE LOWER STANCE, BUT STILL KEEP SOME OF THE SPRING TENSION ON THE TORSION BARS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE SUCH A ROUGH RIDE, AND BOTTOM OUT LESS.
