Adjusting Stock Torsion Bars

[petesone08]

is it obvious where the c-clamp goes?

 

[petesone08]

there is an indent on the the bottom of the key thats whrer you would the t-bar tool or the c-clamp

Has anyone here ever done a torsion bar crank picture tutorial? I thought Chris or someone did one back in the day, but I can't remember . . .

Only reason I ask is because my 2 inch block kit just arrived and I will be adjusting my torsion bars for the first time myself very soon.

for anyone who has cranked - about how much does one turn raise it up?

right now i only want to raise about 1".

you shouldn't have any trouble getting one inch from cranking. The amount of lift per turn will vary. 7 turns or so should be close to an inch, take it slow. Make 5 turns and set it back down and re-measure. Keep in mind it will settle slightly.

I got about 3/4" out of 1 turn the other day

will 285s be OK if I only buy 1.5" blocks and crank accordingly?
