torsion bar re install, too high too low

Very first time I started taking things apart, the torsion bars still had just a little load on them. Guy I worked with said jack the knuckle up and remove the bump stop under the upper arm. that did the trick. That 2 inches or so drop in the knuckle relieved the tension on the bars. It went back together the same way.
I'll mention just incase... Don't torque the lower arm pivot pins nut or the upper arm eccentrics until the knuckle is about centered where it will live. This isn't so critical with some of the modern poly bushings but with OEM type bonded rubber bushing, preventing hardware rotation can tear the new bushing apart at first jounce.
