So I took my front suspension apart to replace the bushings. I marked the torsion bar and LCA but didn't mark the torsion bar and where it mounts in the back. My first shot at a Mopar suspension. I think I installed it one hex angle too high (wheel side of the LCA high). Because there torsion bolts are snug, whereas I loosened them 14 and 18 turns.
Any thoughts on a rough guide to getting the LCA lined up correctly? I was just going to bump it down one.

loosen all the strut and control arm nuts so that everything flops around. Back the Tbar bolt all the way out . Install the T bars turn in the adjusters enough to support car and snug all the nuts ...then lower the car onto the wheels and bounce it around a bit before final tightening of the control arm and strut nuts....then adjust the tbars for ride height.

I might have to do a modified version of that because I couldn't get LCA pivot bar nut to tighten down when it was sitting on the wheels. It's a polyurethane LCA bushing
Any idea on what would be a standard ride height that I could measure for reference I got a 195 60 15 wheel in the front 255 60 15 in the back?

Not sure just spins. I had to put vice grips on it to getget shaft off I might have to do that to get it on and then press the bushing on while it's on the k member
