I recently purchased a 1997 HB 4x4 that has a superlift suspension lift in the front. It seems to have sagged in the front, so I'm assuming the torsions need to be cranked up again. How is this done or are special tools needed? Any information would be apprecaited?

cranking them up is as simple as 'tightening' the anchor bolts

its the reverse of the process shown here zer...ickup
