The bolts to crank them up are right around were your seats seat in the truck, the front ones. there hard to miss, there bolts sitting perpendicular to the truck. I dont remeber if i was told to crank them in or out....but you turn them and then drive the truck a little bit and the suspension will go to were its supposed to be. it kinda resets itself,but now itl be higher. This is just what i was told. i hope it will help.

the bolts are under the front driver area at the end of the torsion bars. jack up the front of the truck to take the weight off, tighten them IN. and set it back down. be sure to get an alignment afterwards.

disclaimer: if its 2wd or not a 97-03 its not going to have torsion bars
