Guess I let my stupidity get in front of my wrench...I took off the LCA's to replace and forgot to mark the position of the TBar to LCA...As if that wasn't bad enough, the damn torsion keys fell off the back of the bar, and yes, they too were unmarked (Stupid Old Man). Is there any trick to getting things somewhat lined up prior to bolting all back together? Something like "torsion key lower flat horizontal and LCA at lowest hang point??? Thanks in advance for your assistance...Beer's on me if your in AZ....DD

Just let the Lower Control Arms hang when you are installing the torsion bars. The keys will only really have one spot where they will look right. Too far one way and they will be too high to fit. Too far the other way and it will look like there is no way you will get the key back in. The only thing that would have been good to mark would be how far in the bolts were that held the keys up. You want to try and get those back in close to where they were. Usually one can get close from just looking at the rust on the bolts. That will get you close, then you'll have to check the ride height prior to having an alignment.
Hope that helps
