Re-indexing rear spring plate

I need to get a little more lift out back, and the stock adjuster is maxed out(I'm gessing a worn out torsion bar) so I want to re-index the spring plates. Should I go up 1 or 2 splines? Do I just back out the 2 bolts in the end of the housing and pull the plate out? Or is there more to it that I'm not seeing?

that's what I did. just pull the plate off, and move it 1 notch only (down, towards the rear). it will give you a couple inches of lift, and make it a lot stiffer. I don't think I could have gotten it back together if I would have moved it 2 notches.

you have to remove the 3 bolts that hold the plate to the trailing arm as well. those are the ones that were a pain to get back in.

 

I believe people that do it the proper way, use a jack to line them up, instead of brute arm force :grin:
