H&F,
Put your truck up on jackstands all the way around (under frame, not suspension). Release the tension on the torsion bars by loosening the anchor bolts. There is one on each side about in the center of the door opening. Once all of tension is off of the bolt, remove it. Then you can pull the whole torsion bar out of the splined socket on the control arm. To "re-index" the bar, re-insert it into the splined socket with the adjuster arm twisted higher towards the frame, four or five teeth should be a good start. You want to keep the adjuster tucked tight to the frame, so you don't catch it on the ground. By moving it up there is less twist on the torsion and that equals less ride height Also, try to keep both sides similar in the amount you move the adjuster. This will help out later when fine tuning left to right. It will be trial and error to get the desired ride height and indexing on the t-bars, but you will be rewarded with a great ride and low stance. PS the key to this is very short shocks and no bump stops. If your ride seems really stiff, look to suspension bind as the culprit, ie...shocks bottomed out or lower control arms touching the frame.
