    When I got my truck, it's torsion bars were cranked up and still are to this day... I want to get it back to OE height (for now) and I am wondering, which way do I crank them?

    I know adjusting will screw up my alignment, but that's one of the next things I need to get done. That, interior, oil leak, and R134 AC conversion.

    Anyone?

    I want to get this done mostly for a softer ride, the way they are right now makes it feel like I'm driving a tank. Just OE height, no lower than that.

    Yeah, but do I turn them right or left?

    Or should I just get it done at the same time as the alignment?
