Torsion Bar Questions
 

Hello-

I have a 62 chevy with the torsion bar set up. My questions are:

How can you adjust the height?

How easy is switching to coil springs if height adjustment is a pain?

Thank you,

Matt

yes you can adjust them un do the maim bolt at the end and that will lower the suspention if you need more lowering height you can pull the bar out and rotate it then try again. make sure you suppot the front befor pulling the bar out and mark the bar in the original position then do the other side.

Easy to addjust: Spray some pb blaster or wd 40 on the before to adjust them There is a screw/nut assembly at the end of thr torrsion bars, by the tranny. jack up the truck, and use jack stands. then just turn them counter clock wise .Try to do the same anount on each side . Dont back them off too much . Thats it. here is a before and after of my 60

Great! That is what I was thinking, but was nervous to start unscrewing things and have the bar flip out or something crazy happened.

Thanks guys!!!

This was with the torsion bar adjustment and lowering blocks in the rear.

NO, NO, NO...the best way is take a TORCH...and heat the middle of the torsion bar and what the truck come down !!!!

Thanks for the picks! I don't want the slammed look, and yours sits nice, so I think I wil be able to get away with just adjustment. Sweet.

Thanks All
