But the later H bodies used a Torsion setup as opposed to the coil springs..

No problem G 
I found a large ratchet with smallest deepwell socket gives good leverage to do the adjusting while laying in the trunk Be careful though..the torsion bars have much more power and tension than you would think possible.

After adding the trunk carpet mine hasn't really popped up much, it rises a few inches and chills there until either I, or a gust of wind comes along.
I'm not terribly looking forward to messing with the bars as you can tell..

I went from not being able to tell when it unlocked to watching it fly up and look like it was going to take out the window. Leave it at a couple inches..that'* a nice height
