Reindexing Torsion bars tutorial?

I am hoping someone can help me with this, i have searched all over the place and cannot find what i am looking for.

i am trying to see if there is a step by step or guide detailing the re indexing procedure for the torsion bars in the W163 ml350. i know how to adjust them just not how to reindex them.

Have seen alot of mention of people reindexing the torsion bar 2 notches to get front to match rear which now has raised springs and 2inch plate and some washer spacers.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry not adjusting, as i said its been adjusted at max height. What in need to do now is take apart the torsion bar system and spin the bar few notches put back in so i can keep adjusting for even more height.

No clue what you are talking about. I have read many threads on lifting the ML, but never came across anything like that......

EVLGSR, did you find out how to re-index the torsion bars? Asking as I'm trying to figure out the same.
