can someone take a picture of the actual torsion bar bolts that i have to turn in order to lower the front? i just ordered my blocks and shocks, and just wanna make sure i am looking at the right bolt for when i go to lower it. thanks.

it will be the bolt at the end of the bar that runs from your control to under your cab

its under the truck about mid door... and it requires a 17mm socket... also when doing the lowering remember to jack the truck up and put on stands (under the frame not the front suspension) other wise you run the risk of breaking the torsion bolts (which alot of people [including myself] have done because we didn't jack the truck up and put on jack stands) also if the bolt breaks the front end will then be sitting (depending on tire size) on either the tire (up against the top of the fender well) or the lower control arm will be sitting against the bump stop (which will ride like total poo) you could also (depending on your position if the bolt breaks) be crushed by the truck [may not flat'n you like a pancake but it will hurt like a mother bitch] ....
