Default Front end ride height issue

I have a 2003 suburban 1500 LT I just finished replacing the upper control arms, bushings, ball joints on the lower control arms, shocks and tie rods. When I tried to take it off the jack, it drops down where it would sit on the ground if the jack was not there to stop it.

I checked all my work and everything looks correct so I tried to set the torsion bar but I bottomed out the bolt that sets the torsion key to no effect. Any ideas on how to get it back to setting at its normal ride height?

Welcome to the forum.

Not having worked w/ torsion bars, can't really think of anything. Might look at another Suburban of that vintage to see if you can find a difference. Did you do one side at a time?

Thanks

I pretty much just pulled everything off and replaced it then went to take it off the jacks and noticed the problem. I've been looking around online and have some new ideas to try out.
