Turn the bolt out to lower the front end?
I wouldn’t. Only on the first time when putting in new bushings. For a ride height change, don’t have to jack it up much, just enough to take some of the weight off the adjuster bolts.. tires would still be on the ground..I'm curious if anything else should be loosened(bushings)? Prior to loosening/lowering?

Jounce the car by bouncing the bumper to reset height when checking side to side.
If you change the ride height by any significant amount up or down you’ll need a new alignment too.
Thank you for repeating this.
Too many people parrot what they hear when they have no direct experience. A height change of an inch or less, the change in the alignment is so small, it is a waste of money to put it on a rack.
Yup, and lube those bolt threads REAL good!.Back in 1963 I tried to lift my 63 Sport Fury
up form clearance on my new Headers with the
wheels on the ground for header clearance.
I stripped the block the adjuster went through
and dropped the K Member on my Chest - Stuck lit a Rat in a Trap.
Please take all the weight of the adjuster before turning it!!
It HURT!
This ^^^^^Just jack the car up first, up or down.

They're idiots. Consider the source.I watched an episode of Road Kill Garage last week and they used an impact to change the adjuster with the weight of the car on the suspension .
I cringed !
