Hi you all,

I checked my message I sent it was all scrabbled up! So I relisted it.



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 inch long wood for the front end and a 4X4 X 8 1/8” inch long
wood for the rear end.

Adjust the rear first on a level spot, by putting the 4X4 X 8 1/8 inch 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 inch 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
