2002 Ford Ranger Edge 2WD

[wlfpck]

Purchased a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge about a month ago from a friend. He had fixed a lot of things but then bought a new F-150 so I bought the ranger off him since I wanted a small truck. So currently in the process of fixing stuff that he didn't have a chance to fix or didn't know about. Truck had a little over 142K miles on it.

Got the Line-X Platinum bed liner spray done last Friday (5/17). Next is getting the transmission mount replaced. Already bought the energy suspension transmission mount. Need to also do the leaf spring bushings and replace torsion bars. Body bushings should probably be replaced as well. Then maybe just a MBRP exhaust.

torsion bars? looking for some lift, or are they sagging? they usually don't go bad.

I feel like they're sagging. Front seems a bit lower that what I've seen on another ford ranger edge here at work. I haven't had a chance to mess with anything but figured this weekend, when installing the transmission mount, I'll go ahead and take measurements and see where I'm sitting. Not sure if I just need to turn the torsion key bolt a couple times. It's no where near being cranked all the way. Is there a guide as to how many turns in the factory setting is at or should be?
