ok. so first question, what exactly does re-indexing the torsion bars do? i already have mine cranked down, so could i re-index them to go lower up front? Next question, how exactly do you take a leaf spring out? Any pictures and information will help. Thanks Guys.

well ya you crank them down then re-index them to even lower it more i think and then the rear is simple all you do is lift up box and remove leafs by taking bolts and u-joints out but its pretty easy .. maybe someone elsw can explain better ... but when you do the front you NEED to go get an alignment ..

actually reindexing stiffens the front end up a lil bit and moves the bracket up so it doesnt drag it doesnt get you any lower

But once they are reindexed you can crank them down some more for a cheap drop but there will be some cutting off the bump stop brackets involved
