Default Quick TB ?

Aight, in the morn, I'mma crank the Torsion Bars, I've been researching it and thought i'd ask if I have it right in my head,
1. Measure the distance of the fender to the ground on both sides.
2. Jack up front end, and place jackstands under frame, not the control arms.
3. Get to cranking.
4. Check distance again, to be sure equal on both sides, and make adjustments as necessry.

Any tips will be appreciated.

The bolts might not have the same amount of threads left on them when you are done. That is normal

Saving the bailing wire for the driveshaft when I split it in half... I've rigged a driveshaft before with duct tape, bailing wire, and t-post on a 81 F-250.
