Went back to try again and this time, when I removed the spring plate, the torsion bar came with it and was stuck in the spring pate. Seems I get to experience both scenarios - stuck in car, stuck in spring plate. It seems that depending on how I removed the spring plate determined what the bars would do. If I just pryed the spring plate off the car without any wiggling, then the torsion bar came with it. If I wiggled the spring plate off without prying, the bar stayed in the car. So now I have successfully lowered the rear using the angle method, and set the height adjustment bolts to the middle to allow final adjustment in both directions. The right side and left side are almost the same, within 1/8" of each other, (24.75" and 24.875" to fenders). I need to check the height to the torsion bars for proper checking still. A little fine tuning should make it perfect. Now the fronts. I found that the front could not be lowered enough by only turning the adjustment screws, so it looks like I will have to remove the caps and re-index them. Any tips before I do this and make a stupid mistake?
Thanks.
