Im fairly new at this... but want to learn...
I want to wind up the torsion bars on my Paj...
To be honest I dont know where to start but once shown or explained i dont think Id have problems doing it.
That and ive heard about replacing the rear springs with gq springs to get extra lift too.
Any help would be appreciated...

mate its easy as, start with taking some measurements fr and rear from chassis to the ground.
loosen the locking nuts at the top of the tortion bar adjuster bolts, and wind them up evenly, counting how many turns and replicate it on the other bar.
start with about 5 full turns each then re-mesure the front, keep in mind that you will want a minamum of 10mm on your bottom bump stops. other wise the car drives like shit, but if you cut your bump stops only go about 1/2 way, (imo) once your happy tighten the lock nuts.
the rear, well yes you can use patrol wagon springs or get 2" h/d for the paj for no more than $200 but shop around.
disconnect both sides of your rear sway bar and take out the bottom bolt from your shock the side your working on first and lift up the body and remove the wheel on that side too, you may need a hand to push the axle down when fitting the new springs,
put the bolt back in the shock and the wheel on and do thhe same on the other side then put your sway bar back on last , leave it off if you want better flex in the rear.
and bob's ya uncle in a nut shell, should only take a few hrs if you don't cut your front bump stops
