help...installing new torsion bars

[BigDave!!!]

I have some f rated t bars on my truck and after a day full of offroading the front of my truck sags about 1.25" and my bolts are all the way tightened too. I am going to the ford dealer now to get some B rated bars and I was wondering if anybody knew how to install them. I figure it would be a little more than just loosening the old ones out all the way and pulling them out so if anybody had any info it would be great. Thanks

Ya need a 2 jaw gear puller to get them out. You have to relieve the pressure on the bolt adjuster plate to get them out. It's pretty easy to do. Doesn't take very long to do either...
