Did you ever figure out how to crank down the torsion bars in the front?
It is so simple to lower this truck it is crazy.
Just find the back end the torsion bar where it attaches to a crossmember.
There are two nuts, one is a lock nut and the adjustment nut.
Loosen the lock nut, and turn the adjustment nut which ever way you want, up or down.
Each full turn of the nut is 3.5 mm or .138 in. up or down .
Tighten up the lock nut.
You will want to lift the front of the car up on stands and have a jack ready to help set the height of the suspension and take off tension.
It is realy amazing how much room in all directions there is in the wheel wells for bigger rims, plus remember, the stock wheels and tires I took off my truck were 26" in diameter overall, the 18" Armada rims with the 265/18 35 came in at 24" in diameter.
