IMPORTANT: The net amount of ride height increase de-

pends upon the age and use of the vehicle, wheel offset, and

numerous other factors. Stated torsion bar ride height in-

creases are based upon factory specifications. If the torsion

bars were “cranked up” at some point in the past, expect a

corresponding reduction in overall height increase with the

new torsion keys. Note that torsion bars, like any other

spring, are subject to fatigue and sagging over time. Also,

torsion bars have different ratings depending on how the vehi-

cle was equipped from the factory. In some cases, installing

heavier rated bars (which can be purchased from a dealer)

may be the only solution to regaining ride height lost from

adding heavy aftermarket accessories, such as a winch

bumper or snow plow.

NOTE: Various types of puller tools are available, however, due to the

extreme loads present in four-wheel drive suspension systems, we have

found the two-jaw style tool that clamps to the crossmember tends to slip

and damage the crossmember. A C-clamp style puller tool is preferred

and available through tool companies such as OTC and Kent Moore.

Notice to Dealer and Vehicle Owner 9. Using extreme caution, tighten the puller tool enough to take the load off the adjuster bolt. Remove the adjuster bolt and nut block, then unload the puller tool. 10. Note the orientation of the torsion bar key in relation to the end of the torsion bar. Slide the torsion bar forward, out of the torsion bar crossmember, and set the factory torsion bar key aside. It is not necessary to remove the torsion bars from the vehicle.

Installation steps 1. Place the vehicle on a level surface. Prior to beginning, record ride height on each side of the vehicle by measuring from the center of the spindle to a consistent point on the wheel well. Record these measurements for future reference. 7. Locate the torsion bar crossmember. There is a bolt on each side of the crossmember that adjusts torsion bar preload. Measure or mark the exposed length of the adjuster bolt for reference during reassembly. See Figure 1. 2.
