The torsions are used as part of the alignment process for leveling the truck. As you raise a truck you effectively increase the spring rate, creating a stiffer ride, and if you lower the the truck you decrease the spring rate giving a softer and somewhat bouncier ride. This is not an optimal way to change the suspension height, but will work for small adjustments of up to 2". If you want to go up, you are best to use a lift kit, or if you want to go down, use Bell Tech's lowering keys, then use the torsions for minor adjustments to get the truck as level as you want. To adjust, find the bolts located at the rear of the torsion bars, on either side of the transmission, and simply turn them a little at a time in the direction you want to go until you reach desired height. Be forwarned, adjusting one side will have a height effect to the other side.
