first of all welcome to the site... on the torsion bar there are 2 bolts that attach to the torsion keys and all you do is jack up the front underneath the differential to relieve the weight on the bars and use a 19mm socket (i think ) and turn each side equally clockwise. do a full turn each then set it back down and see if thats what your looking for... i wouldn't go much over 2 full turns and its recommend to get a alignment when finished.. rememeber it is going to ride a little rougher since by tuning the bolts, you are actually putting the bars under more tension.
