thanks for the concern and help, i currently have 3 jackstands and a jack under there

so am i backing this bolt ALL the way out? ive gone 75 quarter turns and the tension doesnt seem relieved at all, just want to be careful not to pull it out and have the whole thing fall on top of me

You can take it all the way out if you like..(or just unscrew it so the rounded end is flush with the plate it is screwed into)
As long as you have the car properly supported, all that will happen is the lower control arm should become loose and have no more tension holding it down (like it is now)

ok we are now good! thanks for all the help guys i am still alive!

so i am guessing now that i have a jackstand safely under the axle i should tighten the adjusting bolt back up to relieve some of the pressure off the frame?

No, leave it how it is. The weight on the frame is fine. When you have the car on a lift thats where they pick it up from. I wouldnt tighten that bolt untill you have the brake backing plates back on, otherwise you wont be able to get them back on. If you are going to have it torn down for a while, you are fine to leave the torsion bars loose untill you are ready to put it all back together.

What you are calling an axle is the lower control arm. Mopar suspensions aren't all that difficult, but you really need to know what oyu are doing before going and unbolting things. Since you have it at this point it would be a good idea to check all of your ball joints and bushings......

wellll..... I never said it was a standard set,

just try keeping what nature gave ya.....

Often times a man's life in these parts depends upon a mere scrap of information. In the future, you can get the scraps of information you need to save your life from the internet or the local library. The trick is to get them BEFORE you start a project.

sounds like all the great members here got you lined out.very glad it all worked out for you and you did not get hurt or even worse. one more thing i would add is to remove the shock absor it will help you lift the lower control arm back in place. mopar front ends are pretty straight forward but that tor bar can kill ya, you can see in the first pics from you that the t bar still has tension on it. good luck , please be careful and ask some questions first.
