Well I haven't seen this yet....but maybe I missed it. Here is my step by step DIY TB Performance Rear Torsion Bar install.
First step....Proper Tools
Both 19mm deep socket...Wrench & ratchet and a bottle of Anti-seize. Preferably a decade old bottle like mine that never seems to end.
Second step more tools....You can do this on the ground but it would be tight...very tight. I have my Jack and JACKSTAND....I CANT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF A JACKSTAND(S) To properly hold up the vehicle....NEVER...EVER EVER EVER TRUST A HYDRAULIC JACK By Itself! A creeper helps also if you wanna slide instead of slither around and get dirty on your back!

Third step....take the nuts...washers and bolts off the Torsion bar. Slather the bolt up with Anti-seize to help with Corrosion...especially if you live in the salt belt like me. Anything helps in my environment!
Forth step....Install Time! Take just the bolts and one washer on each bolt and put then through from the top on the torsion beam and let them Hang in the holes. Next step install the Bar onto the bolts and put on the washer onto the bolt followed up by the Nylok nut and get the started by hand so the bar will hang. Next step is to Tighten the nut onto the bolt. This nut will have a hard time coming off due to the Nylon insert on it. TIGHTEN them up good....by hand. Not with a power tool as to avoid stripping or cross threading the nut and bolt.
Fifth step....Go out and test it out....come home Crack open a beer and marvel at your accomplishment of Installing The TB performance Rear Torsion Bar. It took me 15 minutes to accomplish this by the way! And I end it with a Gif!

.....thought id take some initiative and get something installed. I will check those Bolts and Nuts again.....Never had much of a problem with Nylok nuts coming loose...but I will check them at your Rec.
