Post Lowering 4WD Navigator

I'm not looking to make this thing into a lowrider, but would like to fill the wheel wells better. I have turned down the torsion bars and have adjusted the shock sensors, trimmed the bumpstops, but still need to get another inch in the front.
My question is, how far down can I turn the torsion bar adjusting bolt. I have a little less than a half inch gap between the threads and the nut. Can I crank it all the way down? Also someone had mentioned that a Jeep Torsion key will fit the Navigator/Expeditions but I don't know what model. I heard this will get you even lower. Anybody heard of this or have any other ideas? Once I'm done, I'm setting up an appointment at the alignment shop and having the camber kit installed and aligned. Thanks for any help.

You need the BellTEch 4WD kit. You can check out www.wmsracing.com they have a 4wd kit there. Probably a Bell kit I'd guess but the have pics there too.

I'd like to lower my 98 Gator 2-3 inches front and rear.

I tried loosening the torsion bars but only dropped it a half inch. Is the thing still resting on the air shocks? I disabled the air system a month prior. Maybe the system holds pressure real well. So I'll need to adjust the bars and the height sensor. can I get 2 inches or so from just that?

How about the rear? Same thing with the height sensor? I heard about removing a "block"?

Thanks!
