early a body torsion bar ?

here's what iam thinking, correct me if iam wrong, with the lca down about pointing to the ground...adjuster almost out just a few threads showing, and turned down as far as it will go, and the bar slid into both hexes', lca and rear cross member. Then adjust the bolt close to where is was originally...let the car down it should hold the front end up some, needing further adjusting for ride height. If it doesn't hold up, those bars have lost there strength, some how....is this possible?
