How exactly do you adjust the torsion bars. I couldn't find it in my haynes repair manual (gotta get a chilton). They're resting on the bump stops right now and I want a little bit of space in between them.

Pretty easy. There is a large bolt head pointing straight down about under the driver's seat area, one on each side. Turn in clockwise to raise and to the left to lower, turn each one the same amount. A quick look underneath will spot it.

I found it easier to:
1st spay some WD-40 on threads
2nd Raise the front end up to take some of the weight off (it helps when tighten)

Well I adjusted them and someone was right about them "settling". The one on the left is cranked almost all the way while the one on the right is only part of the way but the truck is now level. Thanks guys.
