    Use the longer bolts from the bottom of your super bug strut to start on the spring plate and then swap to your short ones. The video didn't mention that these bolts are 15mm size, and using normal sized 17mm head bolts don't have room. The strut mont bolts are your friend here.

    THANK YOU for this video. This is the best explanation of everything I needed to re-index and raise my 73 Baja Ghia.

    Ugh, let no one ever say adjusting torsion bars is NOT a pain in the ass. This video was very helpful and as I type this, I'm reviewing the video to get the torque specs for the end cap bolts.

    There is a tool that pulls the spring plate up to the stop, and also helps to safely remove the spring plate. It'll prevent the plate from slamming in the downward position.

    Is it just me, or isn't it easier to install the torsion bars and plate first and then mount the diagonal axes? Saves you from scratching the freshly painted parts.

    Put the spring play behind the diagonal arm before you tighten the bolts

    with mine dropped 2 splines and no bumpstops...still trying to figure out what metal to metal is bottoming out. I have to leave 20lbs or more in my air shocks to prevent a metal to metal collision back there

    Thank you for the video. Could you explain why you used two different greases? Is there a special kind of grease to use with urethane?

    Do you insert the torsion bar randomly? Or is there a mark on the outer part of the torsion bar that’s tells you where the top or bottom is?

    Question: Is the round rubber on the outside larger in diameter?
