Default Cranked the torsion bars to 23 5/8"......

and it was quite easy with just a breaker bar and a 1 1/16" socket.

I started out at 22" on driver's side and 22 1/2" on passenger side. When all was said and done, it took like 6 full rotations on driver's side and 3 on passenger's side. Gonna drive it around a little and let things settle then will re-measure on Friday and install the front Bilstein's and 1/2" bump stops next week and then do the front end alignment.

For those of you who have contemplated doing the torsion bar adjustment on your own, I encourage you to do it yourself. The hardest part is making sure you turn the bolt in a clock-wise direction to raise it and counter to lower it. I had to stop and think about it because lying on my back and looking up at the bolts screwed me up a little as I'm not used to cranking bolts in this position. Now if I can just decide on which tires to go with, I'd be happy.

I'll post some pics of my "T" leveled out a bit next day I am off.
