Anybody ever adjust the torsion rods on a 60-62??? Would tightening them help reduce body roll?

Hi
I tightened mine up to get a higher ride height in front. I dont think it will help a lot with body roll, you need a anti sway bar for that. It will make the ride stiffer if tightening the torsion bars.

One thing I noticed the other day is that the rods appear to not be tightened exactly the same on the adjustment nuts. About 1 inch of threads is showing more than on the other rod. Is that correct?? It rides and drives good.
Anyone with experience messing with these torsion rods and there adjustment please chime in and give your opinion.
