Ok I think I figured out the mail problem. The 03 is 4WD, Sport, club cab, 4.7, 5 SPD man., the torsion bars are not to be replaced, my bad, But the truck has them. I should have asked about the torsion "keys" or anchor. I am wanting to raise the front up w/ new anchors. However i was told after doing this to check the suspension height on level ground not on the jack. I had a answer on another site but the specs. were for a 95. They measured from the ground to upper "a" arm and another place behind the steering knuckle I think.? I hope this helps. was not ignoring you just was not getting answer in my e-mail it went to spam. Anyway I will be looking for your reply, THANKS CBM

So for the height adjustment is there a special way to tell how to check the proper height. As in a measurement and what do I measure? The instructions I have Say, Install- 1)insert torsion bar ends into anchor & suspension arm. - 2) Position anchor & bearing in frame cross member. Install adjustment bolt through bearing, anchor & into swivel. - 3) Turn adjustment bolt clockwise the recorded amount of turns(the turns you counted taking the bolt out) - 4) Lower vehicle & adjust the front suspension height. That is what I don't understand, adjust front suspension height. How do you do that? Thanks CBM

Sorry for the delay. My internet just now came back on. Yes I have Instructions but the pics server is telling me it cannot show me at this time. I will try later. The instructions are great and I can do that. Thank you very much. I really appreciate what you do for free. I will be back for more. THANKS AGAIN.
