Good day all.



I am replacing the torsion bolts that I got from Zabtech last weekend and my question is:



do I need to raise truck to make sure I do not damage any internal parts?

can I do it without raising ST?



I will doing this tomorrow first thing in the morning so any help will be appreciated, thank you all.

The truck MUST be jacked in the air BY THE FRAME, NOT the control arms or on ramps....



This unloads the suspention.....



Remove the old bolts, Install the new to about the same distance in, drive the truck, measure, re adjust as needed or wanted..



Once set, Raise the truck again, loosen 5-10 turns, apply lock tight to threads, and crank back # of turns loosened..

thank you Todd.



Do I need only front wheels in the air or complete truck needs to be up in the air?



Sorry, just want to make sure!
