Hi you all,



Just a reminder regarding the installation of the Torsion Bars. Each Torsion
Bar is stamped with an “L” and the other Torsion Bar is stamped with an “R”
.

The torsion bars should be installed with the “L” and “R” going into the
porkchops. “L” stands for drivers side, “R’ for passenger side.

Don’t’ forget to grease up the hex going into the lower A frame.

I came up with an easier way to have the height adjusted on the GMC. I use a
4X4 X 9 ½” long for the front and a 4X4 X 8 1/8” long for the rear.

Adjust the rear first on a level spot, by putting the 4X4 X 8 1/8” wood
under to the frame. Once the rear end is adjusted properly do the same on
the front end.

However you have to put the 4X4 X 9 ½” long wood on the side of the frame
and then adjust the Torsion Bar by cranking up the porkchop. After that
drive around to settle the coach and re-check the heights in the rear and
front.

Minor adjustment might be necessary.



Happy GMCing
