Just FYI, this job CAN be done without a torsion bar tool. just remove and install your torsion bars with the lower control arms.

Can you elaborate on that, I'm not catching what you're saying. You didn't take the tension off the bars????

Well with the proper tool, safely unloading the torsion bars was the easiest part of my lift kit install. Getting them to go through the LCA's, not so much. But that was because of years of built up grime and dirt. Just took some lube and convincing, like most things on these trucks. It seems to me like you would spend a lot of time supporting that assembly of parts if you take it out whole. Unloading the bars takes 5 minutes, and depending on the truck, removing them once unloaded can take 1 minute total to 20 minutes each.
