It depends on your truck. Chevy? GMC? Ford? If it's an older truck (Early 90's or so) The most common way is spindles. New trucks mosty use coil springs. Tell me how much you're considering lowering front/rear and what kinda of truck it is and I'll post back man.

Ha ha ha. Oh I never even looked at the name. But yes, it is possible to adjust the torsion bar in MOST cases to lower the truck. However, it may not ride and handle as well as you'd like.
