The t-bar connects to the bottom control arm follow it back to where you will see 2 bolts on the end of the bar. Loosen the back nut and then loosen the inside bolt to create lift in the front. Your going to want to have the front jacked up the do this!!

I heard of cranking the t-bar but i dont have a clue how. i want to get 2 inches on the front to even it out. any suggestions how i can go about with this?

yeah, you definately dont want to loosen the bolts. tightening them will lift you.
just a tip: use the longest socket wrench you can find, and if you have one, use a non-racheting wrench.the bolts can be pretty snug

anyone else have to stop and think what day it is when they wake up and check their email and find yet another 'what size tires on a stock 4dr?!" or "cranking the torsion bars?!" thread from the forum subscriptions?

i tightened the bolts and got about an inch lift for the front. it helped out so much. also, i used an impact socket and a breaker bar and the bolts tightened up with ease. i might lift it a little more tomorrow to get more clearance. thanks again

glad it worked out for you.
understand that this creates premature wear on the suspension and it would be a good idea tohave an alignment doneso you dont wear out those 31's unevenly
