Just wanted to know why this could be the driver side is good and the passager side tirsion adjusting key is hanging lower ?

 

why

Hmmmm... I never seen that before, Did you adjust torsion bar's while truck was on the ground?

 

yeah it was on the ground?

 

whoa...

When adjusting your torsion bars, you usually have the front end jacked up as to have no weight on the torsion bars. Its possible that you stripped the bolted. If your threads are fine, go back and change the index of the key upwards (maybe 3~4 teeth) with the front end jack up of course.
Good luck

 

So you mean like lift it on a jack and adjust it back up and back down?

 

yeah

Lift the front up by the frame so that the front wheels dangle. You dont want a load on the torsion bars. When you lift the front, your torsion key should feel pretty loose as it sits. Their is one single bolt on the key. Loosen it and you should be able to slide the torsion key out. Make a note to where the key originally sat on the torsion bar. Move the key upwards (towards the cab, not ground) maybe 4 teeth before sliding the key back onto the torsion bar. This may sound hard when reading but when you get under there it's pretty much self explanatory.

 

Oh alright but mine has two bolts on top and one on the bottom to adjust?

 

Thats the adjuster on the key.

Yes, that adjusts the height of the truck. Dont forget, the very top nut is the jam nut.
If you look towards the base of the torsion key where it slides onto the torsion bar, there is 1 bolt that keeps the key from sliding out. Thats the bolt I was referring to

 

Oh ok so you meant like moving the key up like too taise the truck and drop the key to drop it?

 

the torsion bar has splines on it. take the key off of the splines and rotate it a few notches. put it back on and tighten the key back down by tightening the two nuts on the top of the bolt back down.

 

No.

The torsion key placement has nothing to do with height. The height of the truck has EVERYTHING to do with the adjustment of that long a$$ bolt and two nuts

You are basically moving the key upwards towards the body so its not exposed.

The key

 

wow this procedure seems like a pain in the busy i have to do the same on my 81 but don't know how to confront it

 

Its really not that bad at all....just basically loosing up a few nuts....look around on here....there are a few write ups...

 

look here, this is on an 89-94. some good pics...
