My torsion bars are currently wound up. I want to bring the height down to standard height. Any info ASAP would be awesome! Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I bought the truck with it wound up. I have broken s*** loads of tie rods. I just want to get it back down to standard height to reduce the chance of it happening again! But no sorry I don't know how to wind them back down!

at the end off the torison (near end off transfer case) will be two long bolts and two nuts on each bolt. you want to undo the nuts
when you get your height ur after lock the nuts against each other

good tip to do is measure the height it currently stands at each side then drop it the same amount off cm/mm on each side

in failing this, take it to your local garage

Hey Josh

This link may help.

Just in reverse of course. Just check underneath, in the crossmember are the adjuster arms that have some long adjuster bolts that pass up through the cross member. See how much thread you have to play with.
They could have been re-indexed and if not done right you might need to undo the indexing also.
