Actually STL just posted a picture of the torsion bar. The key is at the opposite end. There is a bolt at that opposite end. Tighten that bolt up and you lift the truck up to 2". The drivers side bolt will be in further than the passenger side bolt. It's normal. It's because of the extra weight on the drivers side. Just crank both of them equal rotations and then go and get your alignment checked.

That key that he pictured is what the bolt turns into. It turns the torsion bar resulting in lift. You'll want to turn the bolt clockwise to lift the truck. You'll need a 13mm socket(I think) and a sharpie. I used a sharpie to mark one side of the bolt head so you know how many rotations you've done.
