I've fitted my 2" lift springs today (cheers Trex for quick delivery)but had problems winding up the front:(
I've wound it up all the way till I've run out of thread and still not level:(
How difficult is it to re index the bars? I've looked at the manual but I'm not clear which bits come off etc.
Help:cool:
 
I've got some photos from when I did mine - really must do some instructions.

Basically jack it up - put on stands.

Remove adjuster bolts completely.

Just infront of crossmember is rubber boot - pull this back.

Remove circlip that is under rubber boot.

Jack up the wheel of the side you are doing under the wishbone - should pivot adjuster down more - mark position of adjuster.

Hit adjuster with soft faced mallet or put wood on it and hit with hammer - only has to move 15-20mm.

Turn adjuster - I reckon 3 splines is probably enough - I did 4 and could only just get adjuster bolt back in - anyway play with it and see how yours is.

Photo show circlip

@ Terranosaurus - so if I understand well you managed to index the torsion Bar without removing front torque arm? Is there enough room in the X member to remove the rear anchor arm?
