For those of you who have not cranked the torsion bars, how much of the thread shows sticking out or how much of the thread shows plus the bolt head? I am wanting to know if my bars are cranked? I have not personnally cranked the bars but when I first got the green keys, I do not know if they were touched/cranked. I also do not know if they were cranked when I got the 315 by the tire shop to get clearance.

Every truck will be different. It is better to look at the angle of the lower control arm or the seperation between the jouncer and the the lower control arm.

Agreed -- seems like each truck is a bit different.
