1997 Suburban Torsion Bars

All,

I have a 1997 Suburban that sets low to the ground compared to other suburbans. I was under the rig last week hooking up the exhaust after swaping out the engine and saw the adjusters for the torsion bars. I have talked to some people that say you can get up to 3" lift on the front by adjusting the torsion bars up if there is available adjustment travel on the adjusting bolt. Well, I went to my trusty but vague Chilton manual and it talks about removing and installing the torsion bars, and specifically talks about a tool you need to do this.

First question - am I all wet and the above not true?

Second question - what would you do if it was your low setting suburban (be nice here)?

Third question - Depending on the above answers.........Do I need the tool to lift the front up or is the tool only needed for remove/install of the torsion bars?

Any help / clarification is appreciated.

Thanks, Bob
